Glossy Privet

Ligustrum lucidum, commonly known as glossy privet, is an evergreen tree or large shrub native to China, Korea, and Japan. It can grow up to 10 meters tall and has a dense, rounded crown. The leaves are dark green, glossy, and leathery, with an elliptical shape. Small, fragrant, white flowers appear in panicles during late spring to early summer, followed by small, black, berry-like fruits. Ligustrum lucidum is commonly used in landscaping as a hedge or ornamental tree due to its attractive foliage and tolerance to pruning.
