Ligustrum japonicum (Japanese Privet, Wax-Leaf Privet)

Japanese Privet is a shrub native to eastern Asia which can grow to the size of a small tree. It has glossy evergreen leaves and small, white, unpleasant-smelling flowers. The blue-black berries persist most of the year and are popular with wildlife. It tolerates a wide variety of soil types and can withstand drought. Soil nemotodes can seriously harm the tree and are particularly prevalent in sandy soil.
