California Privet
Ligustrum ovalifolium, commonly known as California Privet, is a versatile and hardy evergreen shrub favored for its dense foliage and fast growth. This plant features oval-shaped, glossy green leaves that provide year-round interest and make it an excellent choice for hedging and privacy screens. In late spring to early summer, it produces small, fragrant white flowers that attract pollinators, followed by small black berries in the fall. Typically reaching a height of 10 to 15 feet with a spread of 5 to 7 feet, California Privet can be easily pruned to maintain a desired shape and size, making it suitable for formal hedges or naturalistic plantings. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it adapts well to a variety of soil types and is highly tolerant of urban pollution, making it ideal for city gardens. With its robust nature and year-round foliage, Ligustrum ovalifolium is a reliable and attractive choice for enhancing privacy and structure in any landscape.
