Ligustrum delavayanum

Evergreen shrub with very dense branching. Opposite leaves, ovoidal, elliptical, 1-3cm long, pointed, vivid dark green. Strongly scented white flowers in May grouped in panicles. Flowering occurs only if the plant is not pruned too close to when new growth starts. Tolerates frequent, hard pruning and for this reason is used in topiary, especially half standards with a round crown, and also balls, cones and other shapes. Some of the leaves may fall if there is hard frost but they will re-appear in spring. Grows well in all average garden soils provided they are permeable. Easy to grow in pots which are often placed in front of shops and restaurants.
