This particular Choisya Ternata was
located in a planting bed, in close proximity to the Fletcher Moss Gallery. As
shown in an image above, a man sits looking out of the gallery window,
observing and producing a piece of artwork of the garden. This space
is of a picturesque nature and although this specie is relatively common
regardless of its non-native character, it sits well within the space bringing
a soft tone of green to the area. It is of a very healthy condition, with the
surrounding area of the plant being fairly spacious; shared with minimal tree
planting and shrubs. All leaves were consistent in colour/texture, showing
no indication to any diseases; its shear height and
structure portrays its well grown, healthy condition.
