Evergreen Privet (Ligustrum japonicum) is a vigorous, upright shrub known for its dark green, leathery leaves and rapid growth. It typically grows 8 to 12 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide, though it can be maintained at smaller sizes with regular pruning. In late spring to early summer, it produces clusters of small white flowers, followed by dark berries. Its dense structure and adaptability make it a popular choice for hedges, topiary, and background plantings in both formal and naturalistic landscapes.
