Ligustrum lucidum aka Broad Leaf Privet

Ligustrum lucidum, also known as the broad-leaf privet, Chinese privet, glossy privet, tree privet, or wax-leaf privet, is a species of flowering plant in the olive family Oleaceae. It is native to the southern half of China and has been naturalized in many places, including the United States. The plant can grow up to 30 feet in height and has white puffy flowers during the late spring and small blue-black berries in the fall. The berry of the Ligustrum has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for a wide range of conditions. However, it is considered invasive in all moist habitats, especially in Australia. Glossy Privet, a rare houseplant that belongs to the Ligustrum genus and is native to Central and Southern China to Hainan and Southern Korea, is also called Chinese Privet. It needs regular watering and thrives in long-lasting, direct light less than one foot from a window. The soil should be well-draining, and the plant does not require added fertilizers if repotted each time it doubles in size. The Latin specific epithet lucidum means "bright" or "shiny," referring to the leaves.
