Coriacium/Ligustrum coriacium

Waxleaf/Ligustrum japonicum

Waxleaf ligustrum is an exceptional evergreen with lustrous dark green leaves, gray bark and creamy white flowers in spring. It can grow quite large and makes a nice specimen plant, screen plant or hedge. We prune the lower trunks and clear away the foliage to give it a more regal look. The foliage is sheared to a dense upright oval. 10 to 12 feet high at maturity with a width of 6 to 8 feet.

Recurve/Ligustrum japonicum

Recurve ligustrum has a small glossy dark green leaf with a wavy leaf margin. It tends to be more upright than waxleaf ligustrum and grows slower with a more compact structure. We clear the trunks to allow a showy, almost sculptured, appearance and shape the head into a dense oval. Recurve ligustrum can be used as a hedge, foundation plant, screen plant or even in containers. It is loaded with creamy white flowers in spring and it has smooth gray bark. 10 to 12 feet high at maturity.
