PERSONAL THOUGHTS ON THIS PLANT:
Ligustrum is one of your standard go-to hedge shrubs but can also look decent trimmed to a small tree. It's evergreen with lush glossy leaves that make it look sort of formal. It can thrive in Houston's heat and droughts with very, very little love and can withstand heavy pruning. The wavy look to it's leaves adds an interesting texture and can pair well with Hollys.
