I read up on the Japanese Privet, and according to several info, the privet is toxic to dogs, and the berries a mess. Its invasive and the flowers got a very strong smell.
Very informative! Nice plants.
they look so cool
Great information. I'm looking for a hedge that grows 6-7 feet and 3 feet wide
Podocarpus gracilior, Ligustrum texanum would be two decent choices. Also look at Dodonaea purpurea and Prunus caroliniana
Muchas gracias☺🌳🌿☘🍀🍃
Well one of the branches was injured and now I’m trying to heal it. Also can we talk about the toxicity of these plants if you have kids or animals ?
We have 3 of these. Why did he not mention the berries? They can make such a mess too.
My landscaper planted many Japanese Privets on my neighbor's fence line for privacy. He planted them 5 feet apart... Based on this video, I am now concerned they will never be a true privacy screen! Should I add an additional Japanese Privet in between each tree?
Hi! 5 feet apart is definitely a little more than recommended for a solid hedge. They would quite possibly fill in eventually, but it would take a very long time. I would say to plant more in between for a little bit more instant gratification :)

Never plant this species you will be sorry you did.
Thanks, this video helped a lot.
I planted four last year to start a hedge. It's almost spring and I want to encourage faster growth. Should I prune with hedge trimmer? And should I remove the wooden stakes that came with the plant or leave them in? Should I prune off the top as well?
Hi Dominic, love your videos and thank you for all the helpful info . Have a quick question. We planted these about 9 months ago and would like a privacy hedge that will grow to about 6feet. They are the right height now . Do we pull the stakes or leave them in ? How do we promote the sideways growth? We are In southern Ca and they get lots of sunshine . They are watered every other day for ten minutes with a drip system !?
Any advice would help a ton ! Thank you so much
Hey! Thanks for watchin. I’d pull the stakes out about two years after planting. The stems should be ridged enough to hold themselves up. But if not, maybe keep them in another growing season. Trim longer branches that may be growing out or ‘flopping’ over to help promote inner and side growth.
Hi all, I'm getting ready to plant 30 of these (they're about 3ft high in container). Should I break up the root balls and "cut" a few line on the ball along sides and the bottom when planting?
Hey! No I would not significantly disturb the root ball. Sometimes a light teasing of the roots is good if they appear to be very dense, but generally it’s not needed.
@@BudgetPlants Thank you!
And not to mention the waxed leaves ? Will this burn the plant with TX weather ? I’m sincerely asking because I don’t know
Would it be okay to plant it in a pot?
Hi Dominic! Thanks for you informative video. I live in north Dallas and I was wondering if Ligustrum Japonicum “Texas Privet” is a good choice for a privacy hedge? I heard someone told me is very invasive.
Thanks for watchin! So Ligustrum ‘Texanum’ is not invasive, at least here in Southern California. Here is a good article.

@@BudgetPlants thank you so much !
As a kid I use to make bow n arrows out of the straight branches, bendable wstring sharpen thetip w a glass, useglass toskin offskin let it dry bam that's a plus for these trees or just go wild w the axe in kill em all.
what a cutie
☺️
Will these grow in TExas? I have a back neighbor Im trying to make dissappear lol
Yes
Couple of questions. If this ligustrum is watered via drip irrigation how many emmitters and what size (gph) would you recommend. How many times and for how long would you run the emmiters weekly. I know it varies by region and season but let's say spring in climate that gets around 85 degrees with no rain.
Hey Jose, here in So Cal I usually do two, 2GPH fixed emitters. Then I’ll run them for 30-40 min twice a week. In some cases can just be once a wee with a deeper watering of 60 min (depends on many factors...soil type, climate etc). For new plants, they need water every day. Hope this helps!
@@BudgetPlants wow thanks for the quick feedback. Im in zip 91343. One follow up question when you say once a week do you mean once every 7 days in spring.
What kind of fertilizer do these plants require? Should I trim to encourage height??
A general purpose time release fertilizer is good. Well balanced, like a 10-10-10 ratio. Yes.. trimming will encourage tighter more dense growth and Moses stability as it grows taller.
@@BudgetPlants thank you!
i’m looking to plant the japanese privet for a privacy fence. the issue i have is my neighbors do not want to remove the existing 6’ tall fence until i plant the privet on my side, along the fence, and it has grown dense. how concerned should i be about it getting enough sun with it planted along the current fence? the privet will be planted east to west along my property. thanks in advance!
Hi! So I have seen Privets grow in almost full shade. They grow pretty thin but they can still survive. Although I wouldn’t recommend it. I would say they’re be fine in your situation, but hard to say 100% without a photo. Good luck!
Is this shrub resistant to armillaria (honey fungus). We have it in our soil and it is killing off the a hedge of zylosma.
Fungi and molds can definitely affect this plant. It should not be overwatered. With that said, it’s less susceptible than many others.
hi Dominic, recently planted 6 small privets about month half ago, full sun, here in NorCal, been watering everyday cuz no rain here. I planted them perfectly, not covering the trunk. last three weeks the edges of the leaves turned yellow, then later curling, and now falling off, starting from the top of shrubs... looks like dying. any thoughts?... maybe over watering? the native soil is rather hard, how about fertilizer? thx.. on further inspection just now, there are small white bumbs on the woody stems? is this normal? thanks again, I enjoy ur vids, in fact I've got three Hopbush doing great from your video.
Thanks for watchin the vids! Ok so sounds like it could be Scale. Feel free to shoot me some pics... dominic@budgetplants.com
@@BudgetPlants thanks so much! I'll get some pics and send email after work today. Appreciate . Cliff
@@BudgetPlants what is 'scale'?
Scale are small insects that attach themselves to the plant, usually at the stem. If it’s just a small amount, you can sometimes just rub them off, or dab that area with an alcohol swab. Neem oil can be used to treat larger infested areas.

Good morning. Thanks for interesting video. I am writing from Italy 🙂do younthink is it much different than a Ligustrum japonicum texanum for a High hedge under the sun?
Buongiorno! If I understand correctly, you are asking if this is the same plant as Ligustrum texanum? It is very close…’texanum’ is a variety that has a little smaller leaf, but essentially the same plant. Grazie per averci guardato!
@@BudgetPlants Hi.. today I was in garden shop. they had texanum variety. but not this one. i was asking to you about in the case of a hedge that will be left to grow 3.20 meters in my garden, and about resistance to parasitic diseases and cold temperatures 🌿🌿🌿
Oh ok! Yes the texanum is a good variety and we use it a lot here. It makes a great hedge. It is also fairly disease resistant :))
@@BudgetPlants it is great. even if I asked to buy 10,5 feet tall, and it seems there is only 6,5 ..
@@BudgetPlants about 96$ each
How much will this shrub grow in a year with watering??
In average conditions it may grow approximately 18 to 20”. Sometimes more if given fertilizer an optimum conditions.
I hate this tree it grows wild in my backyard connected to this wooden area n TX I had to bust out the chainsaw pruning cutters axe, those purple berries stain the car, good for some shade, but I had to cut some apart from each other
Do these get red leaves?
No these stay green year round :)
@@BudgetPlants Thanks
Looking for privet that only grows 6-8 feet and 3 feet wide
Most folks keep the Ligustrum texanum about that height for a hedge. If left to grow I trimmed, it would eventually hit 12-15’ max, but it would take a really long time. Not sure if any dwarf varieties.
How fast do they grow?
I’ve seen them put on about 12 to 16 inches in height in a year. I’d consider these a moderate growth rate. Something faster would be the Ficus nitida, but then you have to worry about heavy root systems as well as heavy maintenance. So there’s a trade-off for fast growth. Hope this helps!
@@BudgetPlants Are they a target for aphids ? I want to replace a Beech hedge that has been annihilated from I think wooly aphids.. the ones that go for the stems causing the bark to later fall off killing most if not all of the plants
What is the difference between this and Texas Privet?
Texanum is the specific cultivar of the Privet. Ligustrum japonicum ‘Texanum’. Genus, species, cultivar :)
Lol it’s a invasive STINKY PLANT !!! DONT LEAVE THAT OUT
Is this a Texannum?
Concerned Citizen
Hi! So the plant next to me is in fact the ‘Texanum’ variety of the Ligustrum, but several of the clips displayed are a mix of both japonicum and ‘Texanum’. The Texanum variety grows slightly smaller only reaching about 10 feet. It’s also slower growing than the japonicum. Feel free to fire back with any other questions/comments :)
Concerned Citizen blink of an eye hate em my back yard n neighbors full of them good weigh to lose weight cutting thousands of those trees some are huge reaching tall as the Oaks n Texas
Invasive plant overrunning wild areas. Please do not plant any Ligustrum.
Are you referring to the plants roots?
@@mexzcanninja7412 The plants colonize areas and shade out all other species. Kind of jaw-dropping that anyone would suggest planting it.
