Ligustrum ovalifolium Korean privet ,[1] California privet , garden privet ,[2] oval-leaved privet , is a species of flowering plant in the olive family Oleaceae.[3] native to Japan and Korea .[3]
Description
[ edit ]
Ligustrum ovalifolium is a dense, fast-growing, deciduous (evergreen /semi-evergreen in warm winter areas) shrub or small tree. It grows to 10–15 feet (3.0–4.6 m ) tall and wide.[4] [3]
It flowers in midsummer, the abundant white blooms producing a unique pungent fragrance, unpleasant to some.[3] panicles . They have four curled-back petals and two high stamens with yellow or red anthers, between which is the low pistil ; the petals and stamens fall off after the flower is fertilized, leaving the pistil in the calyx tube . Flowering starts after 330 growing degree days .[citation needed
The fruits, borne in clusters, are small purple to black drupes , poisonous for humans but readily eaten by many birds.[3] fruits .[5]
Uses
[ edit ]
Ligustrum ovalifolium is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including common emerald , common marbled carpet , copper underwing , the engrailed , mottled beauty , scalloped hazel , small angle shades , the V-pug and willow beauty .[4]
All parts of plant are poisonous if ingested by humans.[6]
Cultivation
[ edit ]
The species is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant in many countries, as a shrub , and grouped for an informal or formal hedge .[4] [3]
Ligustrum ovalifolium is the most common hedging plant species in cultivation in the United Kingdom .[7] [8]
Several cultivars are used in gardens and for hedging, including Ligustrum ovalifolium 'Aureum', the golden privet, with oval, rich yellow leaves with green centers.[9] UK Royal Horticultural Society 's Award of Garden Merit .[10] [11] Ligustrum obtusifolium Ligustrum × ibolium [12]
Ligustrum ovalifolium 'Vicaryi', a yellow-leaved shrub, was once thought to be a hybrid between L. ovalifolium 'Aureum' and Ligustrum vulgare Ligustrum × vicaryi was published. Studies of both chloroplast and nuclear DNA showed that L. vulgare was not involved in its parentage, both of its parents being L. ovalifolium . Accordingly, it was given a cultivar name. Its year-round yellow leaves and white flowers in midsummer make it an attractive hedging plant or ornamental shrub.[13]
[ edit ]
The species is reportedly naturalized in France , Spain , Italy , the Balearic Islands , Saint Helena , Réunion , Chiapas (México), Costa Rica , Guatemala , Honduras , the Juan Fernandez Islands , Ontario , and in the United States .[14] [15]
Ligustrum ovalifolium has also been listed as an invasive species in areas of the United States, including: California , Hawaii , Washington state , Texas , Missouri , Alabama , and many of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern states .[16] [17] [18] noxious weed lists.[19]
Etymology
[ edit ]
Ligustrum means "binder". It was named by Pliny and Virgil.[20] specific epithet ovalifolium means "oval-leaved".[21]
