Re: shopping

No, the labels are correct.  We have a hedge of Burkwood at the display
gardens and I have my own.  All are fantastic.  I had 5 carliesii years ago
that smelled nice enough, but got too tall for my plan so I took them out.
Just today I smelled a carleisii at the gardens and it had a faint but
pleasing fragrance.  Nothing compared to the burkwoods.
