Ligustrum Japonica Texanum

Ligustrum Japonica Texanum Trees or Shrubs, also known as Japanese Privet, is a glossy evergreen tree or shrub with a naturally compact and bushy habit and lovely panicles of white flowers in summer. 

These Ligustrum Japonica Texanum make ideal plants to use for above fence screening in the garden.

Native to Japan, Ligustrum Japonica Texanum is one of the most popular privet cultivars grown in the UK, and our specimens grown as full standard trees or shrubs have a variety of uses in your landscape planning. The glossy, oval green leaves remain year-round, providing winter interest, and the dense growth habit can provide you with valuable privacy above eye-level. The strongly scented early summer flowers, followed by black berries which will attract birds, are an added bonus!

Extremely hardy throughout the UK and very resilient to drought, urban pollution and salt spray, as well as to deer and rabbits, there is no planting situation where this tough tree will not thrive!

Ligustrum Japonica Texanum Full Standard is an excellent candidate for container planting on a rooftop terrace or patio, or in a courtyard, where its evergreen foliage will earn its place in all seasons! The bushy crowns will create a high year-round privacy screen when planted along a wall or above a fence. In a small garden, one specimen would be an attractive focal point in a lawn, or tucked towards the back of a mixed border, and row of trees planted alongside a street would make an effective privacy and sound barrier.

Ligustrum Japonica Texanum grows in any well-draining rich soil in a sunny or part shaded spot in the garden. Requires little to no pruning. Small fibrous root system.
