Notes
Saw toothed azara (Azara microphylla) is a tree for hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Its yellow flowers are fragrant and open from mid winter to early spring. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Give it room, since it can grow 12 to 20 feet tall.
Pairs well with Texas mountain laurel, Little Gem southern magnolia, and Oleander.
