Ligustrum Jonandrum (also known as the Privet Tree) is a very adaptable and versatile favourite for topiary. The Box leaf privet grows rapidly and needs clipping quite often in the summer months. It tends to start its growth a bit later than other topiary plants but once it has started it needs clipping every two to three weeks. It stops growing around September time and remains the same shape until the next spring. It thrives in full sun or partial shade and is noted for its small dark green leaves.

This plant produces white flowers in the summer which turn into small black berries in the autumn. These flowers and berries make the plant very attractive but mean that feeding is very important. Use a liquid feed every two to three weeks and a boost feed of ‘Osmacote’ to ensure a good leaf development. This plant is susceptible to Red Spider Mite and benefits from spraying once a year. It also needs treatment for Vine Weevil in the last week of June and the first week in July.
