Description

Ligustrum japonicum (lucidum), commonly known as the Japanese privet, is an upright evergreen shrub or small tree that can grow to a mature height and spread of approximately 4 meters. We offer this variety as pleached, trained to develop a flat, two-dimensional shape along stakes or wires, making it an ideal choice for an elevated hedge or screen. This tree features dark green, waxy leaves that can reach up to 10 centimeters in length, providing an attractive backdrop for its small, fragrant, off-white flowers that bloom in spring and summer. These flowers are followed by clusters of small black berries. The Japanese privet thrives in moist, well-drained soils and prefers a position with full sun to partial shade.

Planting Steps

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
