Ligustrum is more commonly known as a shrub used for hedges and screens, however we like it most when limbed up into a small tree. 'Wavy Leaf' Ligustrum (recurvifolium) is our favorite of the group. The foliage is a waxy dark green and the leaves are wavy. An abundance of fragrant white flowers are produced in spring. Once the botoom branches have been removed it can be left alone to grow natural or clipped to a more formal shape.
