Banana Shrub
Michelia figo
Its name meaning 'wearing a smile,' the banana shrub is a small tree that shows off a charming scent — sweet banana mingled with crisp, fresh apple.
Even in bloom, its sweetly cupped petals look like a bashful magnolia, making the name 'wearing a smile' suit it perfectly.
