Ligustrum Japonicum Texanum (Waxleaf)

Pot size 18cm

Texanum Japanese Privet is a multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition.

This relatively low-maintenance shrub is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. It has no significant negative characteristics.

Texanum Japanese Privet features showy panicles of lightly-scented white flowers at the ends of the branches in mid-spring. It has dark green evergreen foliage. The glossy pointy leaves remain dark green throughout the winter.

This fast grower is covered with attractive waxy oval leaves; the shrub has a more open shape as it ages, it is quite beautiful and can be limbed up and used for bonsai; shows drought tolerance; delightful panicles of white flowers; makes a great hedge.
