Description
Ocala Yellow Anise is a very attractive large evergreen shrub or small tree with attractive light green leaves that release a pleasant fragrance reminiscent of root beer with a touch of licorice. In sun, the elliptical 5-inch long leaves will be lighter green and darker green in shade. Here in north-central Georgia, we've had better success growing this Anise in locations that provide some afternoon shade.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing upright to 10-15 feet tall and 6-10 feet wide, Ocala Yellow Anise is useful in the landscape as a specimen shrub or small tree, in groupings, or as a natural hedge in sunny or shady areas of the garden. Also ideal for use in home foundation plantings to frame corners or as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) between widely-spaced windows or on windowless walls.
Suggested Spacing: 6' for solid hedges; 12' or more for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Ocala Yellow Anise is very easy to grow in organically rich, moist but well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. For best appearance and performance we recommend some shade in the afternoon. Maintenance is minimal except for a snipping here or there of a stray branch. That said, plants can be clipped to control height or to maintain as a hedge.
