CALIFORNIA PRIVET 
L. OVALIFOLIUM (California Privet). 
Of all ornamental hedge plants this is the most 
popular and more of it is planted than all others 
combined. Its foliage is a rich, dark green and is 
nearly evergreen, remaining on the plant until mid- 
Winter. It is of free growth and succeeds under 
the most adverse conditions, such as under dense shade 
of trees where other plants would not exist. 
To form a dense hedge from the base up the plants 
should be severely pruned the first two seasons. Plant 
the one-year old size 8 inches apart in the row, the 
larger sizes 10 to 12 inches apart.
