About
the
Privet
-
Chinese
South
:
The
Chinese
South
Privet,
Ligustrum
sinense,
is
an
abundant
semi-evergreen
small
tree
or
large
shrub,
most
commonly
found
invading
the
understory
of
moist
areas.
Copious
amounts
of
fruits
are
produced.
The
berries
turn
black
when
ripe
and
are
gobbled
up
by
birds,
which
spread
the
seeds
far
and
wide.
The
foilage
is
sometimes
so
thick
that
nothing
can
grow
underneath
the
shrub.
It
usually
reaches
a
height
of
15
feet
and
has
pretty
white
flowers
in
the
late
spring.
Its
oval
leaves
are
dark
green
