Japanese privet is an attractive and tough plant that requires little care. It is extremely fast growing and can add green "bulk" to new landscapes quickly. Ligustrums provide a source of food for birds when other berries or food sources are meager.
This is a dense, fast-growing, evergreen shrub that typically grows 6-10' tall, although it may grow to as much as 18' tall. It responds well to shaping and pruning, and is often trained into topiary specimens such as globes, pyramids or cones.
The Japanese Privet Hedge has become a popular and versatile shrub for warm winter areas of the southern and western U. S. in large part as a result of its attractive evergreen foliage, fast but compact growth and ease of culture/pruning. Makes a good formal or informal hedge, screen and shrub border. Popular for topiaries. It can be trained as small tree and makes a good container plant.
The glossy, dark green leaves (to 4" long) are pale whitish-green beneath. Creamy white flowers in upright panicles up to 6" long bloom in late May to early June. Flowers give way to oval-rounded black drupes which ripen in fall and persist into winter.
native to Japan and Korea. For zones 7b-10.
