Has anyone tied growing one in Texas? It is supposed to be a Native of Mexico, so it should grow here.

It is a rounded, medium-sized shrub with shining, dark green leaves. USDA Zones 8 - 10. Mexican orange is hardy to 10 F, and probably can be grown in zone 7. I had one in a very sheltered spot in my UK garden, in a South West facing corner where it reallt thrived, grew at least 8ft high and across. It is evergreen and blooms in spring and again in fall and smells wonderful!
