Description

Ligustrum japonicum, commonly known as Japanese waxleaf privet, is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to Japan and Korea, introduced to North America around 1845. It typically grows 2–5 m (6½–16½ ft), sometimes up to 6 m, featuring glossy dark green, leathery leaves and upright clusters of creamy white flowers in early summer, followed by persistent purple‑black drupes. Valued for its adaptability—it thrives in sun to shade and varied soils—this species is easily shaped into hedges, screens, or topiaries, making it a staple in warm‑winter gardens. While its flowers have a strong, often unpleasant aroma, it has been widely cultivated for its ornamental value and evergreen presence.

Glossy, leathery evergreen leaves with contrasting pale undersides.
Upright, creamy-white flowers in early summer followed by showy black drupes that persist into winter.
Versatile growth habit—responds well to pruning, ideal for hedging, topiary, or small tree training.
