Goldtip Ligustrum

This is an upright, dense, bushy deciduous, sometimes semi-evergreen shrub most often used for shrub borders and hedging. New leaves are gold tipped until they age, then are dark black-green, oval to lance shaped, 1 1/2 to 4 inches long. Creamy white, fragrant flowers are held in pyramidal panicles, 5 to 8 inches long, followed by small, round, dull black fruit. Clip hedges twice in summer. Mature size is 15-18 ft tall/ 10 to 15 ft wide Hardy in zones 7-10 Shade to Full Sun Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring. We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
