California Privet - Ligustrum Ovalifolium

California privet is a popular ornamental shrub native to Japan and Korea. It is a fast-growing, hardy plant that can reach heights of up to 15 feet (4.5 meters).

Stunning Leaves

The plant is famous for its attractive, glossy, oval-shaped leaves, about 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) long. It produces small, fragrant, white flowers in the summer and small, black berries in the Fall.

California Privet Is Perfect For Hedges Or Screens

This privet is often used for hedges or screens, as it can be easily pruned and trained to a desired shape. It is also tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions, including sun or shade and various soil types.

How And Where To Plant

It can be grown in various conditions, including full sun or partial shade, and in different soil types. It prefers well-draining soil and moderate water but can tolerate drought once established.

Where To Grow

This plant is hardy in U.S.D.A. zones 5 to 8, which includes most of the United States except for the coldest and warmest regions. It can generally be grown in areas with a mild to moderate climate. If you plan to grow a hedge or screen, it is important to space the plants appropriately to allow for adequate air circulation and growth. For a dense hedge, a spacing of about 2 to 3 feet (0.6 to 0.9 meters) between plants is recommended.

This Is How Your Plants Will Look upon Delivery

Plant bare-root shrubs during the more excellent spring or fall months, from November through April. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root system and slightly more profound than its height. Position the shrub so that the top of the roots is level with the ground, and put back the soil dug over the roots. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, ensuring the mulch does not touch the shrub's stem. Water regularly, especially during the first year, to establish strong roots. Prune shrubs as needed to promote healthy growth. In the spring, fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer suited to the specific needs of the shrub.
