How to identify Common jasmine (Jasminum officinale)
Common jasmine, also known as Jessamine, Common white jasmine, Summer jasmine
Common jasmine is characterized as a hardy evergreen vine that can climb up to 40 feet (12 meters) high and stretch about 15 feet (4.5 meters) wide. Its growth is supported by moist, fertile soil rich in organic matter, though it is tolerant of less ideal conditions. Distinctive features include the plant's fragrant, tubular flowers, which transition from pink to white and bloom from spring to fall. These flowers continually emerge from new growth and are magnetic to butterflies and hummingbirds. Following the blooming period, common jasmine benefits from heavy pruning. Although resilient to drought and pollution, common jasmine is not frost-hardy and should be protected or moved indoors in cooler climates beyond zone 7.

The fruit of common jasmine is a black berry when mature, showcasing a glossy sheen and containing multiple seeds. These berries are typically small, only about 0.3 to 0.4 inches (8 to 10 mm) in diameter. They emerge from the flowers that are more prominently displayed and are a less common sight. The texture of the mature berries is somewhat fleshy, reflecting their classification within the berry category, although specific textural characteristics like juiciness may vary and are not well-documented. Key identification markers include the contrast between the dark berries and the often lush, green foliage of common jasmine.
