Ligustrum japonicum, commonly known as Japanese Privet, is a dense and upright evergreen shrub or small tree prized for its lustrous, leathery, dark green foliage. It typically grows between six and twelve feet tall, producing clusters of creamy white, fragrant flowers in late spring followed by dark purple-black berries. Highly adaptable and salt-tolerant, it thrives in a variety of soil types and light conditions, making it an excellent choice for formal hedges, privacy screens, or topiary.
