“Kinmokusei (金木犀)” is a tree whose blossoms have the most amazing fragrance; at least I think so. 😉 Kinmokusei blossoms are orange and bloom from the end of September through October in Tokyo area. This tree was introduced from China, and I have not seen it in the U.S. Kinmokusei is deciduous, and almost all Kinmokusei trees in Japan are male. There is another version of this tree called “Ginmokusei (銀木犀)”. Ginmokusei blossoms are white instead of orange. I have seen Ginmokusei trees in the U.S., but to me their fragrance is not as good as Kinmokusei. I wish I could attach the fragrance of Kinmokusei along with this photo for you.
