California Privet (T) © 
Ligustrum ovalifolium 
Of all hedge plants the California 
privet is the most popular and it is 
planted more often than all other hedge 
plants combined. It is of free growth 
and succeeds under the most adverse 
conditions of soil and location. Even 
under the dense shade of trees it will still 
make a creditable showing. Those who 
wish to give their hedge a specific form 
should prune the plants at regular inter- 
vals during the growing season. Strong 
plants, size 24 to 3 ft., $1.25 per doz.; 
$6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000.
