TEA’S WAX LEAF 
Ligustrum japonicum. I am Wax Leaf. I’m only three 
years old but I’m 4 feet tall and just about as wide. (Sounds 
like a Quiz Kid program.) My waxy green clothes are always 
clean. I’m always calm and unruffled—or almost always. The 
only thing that really burns me up is some of those scrubby 
shrubs next door. Don't see why somebody doesn’t dig them 
out and put in a few of my brothers and sisters. If you have 
a spot you want screened in, if it’s a trimmed hedge you 
need or just a single specimen shrub, my relatives and I will 
do you a job you'll be proud of. We enjoy either sun or shade 
and will grow to 8 or 10 feet, if you don’t keep us pruned. 
And we don’t mind cold weather a bit. See you in the garden!
