Ligustrum Ovalifolium ‘Aureum’ is a popular choice for hedging due to its dense and upright nature. This low maintenance shrub is tough, hardy and semi-evergreen, meaning it will hold its leaves unless in severe weather. Its foliage is comprised of green ovate leaves with bright yellow margins, which provide excellent nesting for birds. If left unpruned this versatile shrub will grow into a small tree. Small white blooms arrive in clusters in Summer, sometimes followed by back Autumnal fruits, making the Ligustrum Ovalifolium ‘Aureum’ a magnet for bees and other beneficial pollinators. The dense foliage is often used for screening and privacy and is pollution tolerant.
