Evergreen shrub. Very fast growing with rounded canopy. Glossy, medium-green, oval-shaped leaves. Large clusters of small white flowers in late spring, followed by huge crop of small black berries that sprout profusely. Low to moderate water needs once established. Glossy Privet (Ligustrum lucidum) is native to China, Japan, and Korea and is a popular choice for bonsai enthusiasts due to its ability to easily grow as a large shrub or small tree. Reaching between 5 and 10 feet tall in shrub form, and 10 to 20 feet tall as a small tree, Glossy Privet requires full sun or semi-shade and moderate water in dry conditions. In warmer climates, a sheltered location may be advisable to prevent damage from heat. The plant bursts into life in late spring, with small white or off-white clusters of fragrant flowers that will attract both butterflies and hummingbirds. It has proven hardy to USDA zones 8 to 10, however it is best grown in colder regions as a container plant or in a sheltered location. Growing and caring for Glossy Privet in colder regions requires some special attention. For best results, it should be grown in a pot that can be moved indoors when temperatures dip below freezing. The plant requires light pruning to encourage dense growth, as well as regular fertilization during the spring and summer months. Be sure to keep the soil moist, but not wet, cut out any dead or diseased branches.
