  Reply | Contact Welcome Leah. Could you add a close up pic to this thread, to show the detail in the flowers and leaves. It is possible that it is Olearia x haastii... but I cannot be sure. https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&pwst=1&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&q=Olearia+haastii...&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&biw=1030&bih=496&wrapid=tlif134547689058610&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=H1kyULqGLMKj0QWiyIGwDQ This link shows good close up of the leaves....  http://www.burncoose.co.uk/site/img/products/large/olearia_haastii_3035.jpg This one .. the flowers. http://www.hedgenursery.co.uk/modules/shop/images/Olearia_Haastii3.jpg

  Reply | Contact Err.. definitely  not Griselina. Olearia x haastii leaves are much smaller and daintier,half to 1 " long and half as wide, they sort of clasp the stem. Just now it is just smothered in white flowers. Griselina  littoralis leaves are larger, rounder. 1" - 4.5" long, half to two thirds wide.Very gloss, no hairs on it. The main id feature for me is the very prominent mid rib vein. It flowers in May. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?um=1&hl=en&sa=X&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&biw=1030&bih=496&tbm=isch&tbnid=rHXlIksI2YHa3M:&imgrefurl=http://davisla.wordpress.com/2011/10/22/plant-of-the-week-griselinia-littoralis/&docid=UhHXDjotEXivSM&imgurl=http://davisla.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/griselinia-littoralis-leaf.jpg&w=3008&h=2000&ei=PjszUMb3BIHS0QWhzYD4BQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=91&vpy=154&dur=144&hovh=183&hovw=275&tx=109&ty=99&sig=117860512390613209384&page=1&tbnh=136&tbnw=181&start=0&ndsp=10&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:70 Griselina...There are female trees and male trees. Flowers are sort of green and tiny.
