Wax Leaf Privet (Ligustrum Japonicum) 30 Gallon

The Wax Leaf Privet (Ligustrum japonicum) is a classic evergreen favored in landscapes for its rich, glossy foliage and impeccably clean architectural form. With thick, waxy, deep-green leaves and a naturally dense growth habit, it delivers an immediate sense of order, refinement, and permanence.

Highly versatile, Wax Leaf Privet performs beautifully as a formal hedge, privacy screen, or sculpted specimen, responding exceptionally well to pruning and shaping. Its upright structure and uniform texture make it a designer favorite for modern estates, grand entries, and tailored garden spaces, where crisp lines and year-round greenery are essential.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Ligustrum japonicum is heat tolerant, shade tolerant, drought resilient once established, and low maintenance, making it as practical as it is elegant. In spring, subtle clusters of creamy white flowers add seasonal interest without detracting from its refined appearance. Typical max height is 10-12ft but can be easily
