I have a jasmine type shrub with star shaped white flowers which, in qld flowers several times per year. It has quite thick stems and large glossy green leaves. When the stems are broken they release a milky sap. When they have finished flowering, it has large red fruit which are red and fleshy inside. My question is, can you tell me the name of the plan, a little about it including how to propagate and are the fruit edible. Thanks.
This is called Boxwood Beauty.

My approximately 2years old jasmine plant started flowering this spring. But it produces incomplete flowers. Flowers have only the calyx part (green color sepals) but never produced flowers. Can anyone suggest a treatment? Thanks.
This could be due to pests, disease or environmental issues.

Hi, I fertilized my baby night blooming Jasmine 2 xs in one week by mistake. Leaves are turning yellow and droopy, help, please
You can try flushing the soil with water to help remove the excess salts.
You are then in a wait and see phase.

Hello Dear Sir/Madam, I have a 8 years old night blooming Jasmine in a pot, it grows really well and I give it a flowering fertilizer once a week, its been 2-3 years now that its flowers don't has fragrance anymore! I am really puzzled that what could be the reason and is there anything I can do to bring the scent back again, it is pretty hot in here for now about 33-35 degrees Celsius. can you please help me with my problem? Many thank in advance.
Some varieties have less fragrance then others.
They also have most fragrance in the evening. Wind can take the smell away from you!
Dry air or lack of humidity can also cause the smell to diminish.
Make sure your plant is receiving enough sunlight, at least 6 hours.
Hi, I have a large (about 20 years old) Jasmine Officinale. It has been robust and needed very little care over the years. This year it appears to be dying. Over the past month I have noticed the leaves all turning brown. We have had sufficient rain and lots of warm weather. I live in Victoria, BC. Do these plants have natural lifespan? Thank you, Patty
Jasmine officinale are known to be quite disease and pest resistant. They also can live hundreds of years with proper care and unharmed from environmental issues. Inspect your vine for any other marks on the leaves or to see if pests are present. Some insects can be difficult to see with the naked eye.
Pruning can help the vine by opening it up to air circulation. This can help reduce the risk of fungus infections. Make sure the soil is well draining and that the ground is not holding too much water. You could treat the plant with Neem Oil. Neem Oil is organic and safe for people, pets and bees. It also works as both an insecticide and fungicide. This treatment can't hurt the plant and may help.
We have a lot of asian jasmine planted on a slope next to our pond. Weeds are taking over where the jasmine has not yet spread. Can we put down weed barrier plastic to keep the weeds out without causing the jasmine to be stunted?
A weed cloth may prevent some of the vines from attaching to the soil, if your plan is to have the Jasmine cover the area you may want to avoid a weed barrier.
Mulching can help suppress weeds until the Jasmine covers the area.
