Ligustrum Vulgare ‘Straight Talk’

Perfect for hedging or screening in tight spaces, Ligustrum vulgare ‘Straight Talk’ has a strongly erect, narrow, columnar habit. Evergreen to semi-evergreen, (in very cold winters), Ligustrum vulgare ‘Straight Talk’ sports lustrous, bright green foliage and is perfect for hedging or as a vertical accent in the garden landscape. Cold hardy, growing in sun or shade, pollution tolerant, drought tolerant and coping with a wide range of soils, this vigorous, fast-growing shrub will quickly provide dense screening and tolerates regular clipping. Fragrant white flowers are produced in July and August followed by shiny black berries that are appreciated by the birds, although regular trimming will inhibit flowering and fruiting.  Maximum height: 3.6m (12ft).
