(Glossy Privet)

Glossy privet is a small broadleaf evergreen tree native to China. It differs from Japanese privet in its longer, less shiny leaves and its larger, later clusters of pungent white flowers. It can be pruned as a shrub or grown as a tree with an attractive, gray, sinuous trunk. The prolific blue-black fruits can cause litter problems when they fall. It will grow in almost any soil type or sun exposure and withstands heavy pruning. Use it as a specimen or in hedges, foundation plantings, or screens....

(Chinese Privet)

Chinese privet is a large, arching, deciduous or semi-evergreen shrub native to China. In summer it bears large, showy, odoriferous clusters of small white flowers, giving rise to blue-black fruits that are relished and disseminated by birds. It will grow in almost any soil type or sun exposure, and is often invasive through self-sowing. Its variegated cultivars flower and fruit less heavily, and make good accent, border, and foundation plants.
