Ligustrum ovalifolium, commonly known as California privet or Japanese privet, is a deciduous shrub often used for hedging. It features glossy, dark green leaves, fragrant white flowers in late spring, and small black berries. It can grow up to 10-15 feet tall and thrives in full sun to partial shade, preferring well-drained soil. Regular watering and pruning are necessary for maintenance. It is primarily used for formal hedges and privacy screens, appreciated for its ease of growth and urban tolerance, but it can be invasive and its berries are toxic if ingested.
