LIGUSTRUM ‘SUNSHINE’ Ligustrum sinense 'Sunshine' NOTE: Patented Plant PP#20,379: Propagation Restrictions Apply Characteristics Type: Woody Shrub Sun: Full Sun Zone: 6-10 Water: Medium Height: 3-6 feet Soil: Well drained Spread: 3-4 feet Maintenance: Low Bloom: Does not bloom Tolerates: Heat and drought once Foliage: Bright yellow established Culture Ideal as a hedge in the landscape, ‘Sunshine’ Ligustrum offers year-round golden foliage that flourishes in full sun. This sterile, non-invasive cultivar will not re-seed into the landscape. In fact, it doesn’t bloom at all, which is good news for allergy sufferers. This particular privet thrives in full sun and has moderate water needs. It likes moist, well-draining soil and a bit more water when the temps rise. To bring out even more of its bright yellow foliage, occasional pruning is needed. Pruning this Ligustrum is more for shape, though. It doesn't need the careful, regular shearing of other privet selections, which are speedy, aggressive spreaders Noteworthy Characteristics ‘Sunshine’ Ligustrum is non-invasive. While privet has a reputation for being smelly and growing like a weed, this particular selection of Ligustrum sinense is easier to corral. Plus, it doesn't flower. This privet has all the hedging capabilities and visual interest of its Ligustrum relatives, maybe even more, thanks to its bright yellow foliage, with none of the odor or invasive sprawl. It's a privet that won't cause a headache for you or your garden. ‘Sunshine ‘cannot tolerate soggy feet. The bush can adapt to most well drained soils. Water frequently to help the plant get established. After that the plant is quite drought and heat tolerant. Add mulch to the base of the shrub to help maintain moisture to the soil, and help protect shallow roots from harsh weather conditions Problems It is also very hardy and easy to care for, but it cannot tolerate soggy feet Garden Uses Accent, Container, Hedge, Mass Planting. .

POTENTIAL of a NATIVE LACE BUG (LEPTOYPHA MUTICA) for BIOLOGICAL CONTROL of CHINESE PRIVET (LIGUSTRUM SINENSE) by JESSICA A
POTENTIAL OF A NATIVE LACE BUG (LEPTOYPHA MUTICA) FOR BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF CHINESE PRIVET (LIGUSTRUM SINENSE) By JESSICA A. KALINA (Under the Direction of S. Kristine Braman and James L. Hanula) Abstract This work was done to better understand the lace bug Leptoypha mutica Say (Hemiptera: Tingidae) and its potential for biological control of Chinese privet, Ligustrum sinense Lour (Oleaceae). L. mutica host utilization of Chinese privet was confirmed in a no choice test. In choice tests with plant species Chinese privet, swamp privet (Foresteria acuminata Michx), and green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh) L. mutica preferred green ash. The duration of development of L. mutica on Chinese privet from egg to adult ranged from 24.4 to 57.1 days at o o o o the temperatures: 20 C, 24 C, 28 C, and 32 C. Estimated threshold temperatures (To) and calculated thermal unit requirements (K) for development of egg, nymphal, and complete development were 11.0oC, 9.9oC, 10.5oC and 211.9, 326.8, 527.4 degree-days (DD). The only suspected specific Leptoypha spp. natural enemy found was a mymarid wasp, but was not concluded to be limiting factor for L. hospita’s success.

Chinese privet plants Plant Symbol = LISI mature rapidly and are prolific seed producers. They also reproduce vegetatively by means of root suckers. Contributed by: USDA NRCS National Plant Data Once established, Chinese privet is difficult to Center & Louisiana State University-Plant Science; eradicate because of its reproductive capacity. partial funding from the US Geological Survey and the US National Biological Information Impact/Vectors: Ligustrum sinense is native to China Infrastructure and was introduced into the United States in 1852 for use as an ornamental shrub. It is used for hedge and mass plantings, and sometimes as single specimens for its foliage and its profusion of small white flowers (Dirr 1990; Wyman 1973). It continues to be widely sold in the nursery and gardening industry. The foliage of Chinese privet is also used, presumably, for cut-flower arrangements. This horticultural introduction has been cultivated for a relatively long time in the United States. Wyman (1973) reports that this species is still growing as a hedge on the old Berkman’s Nursery grounds in Augusta, Georgia, where it was planted in the early 1860’s. It was planted on the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park after it came under the control of the Secretary of War in 1890. Present day plants are descendants of those early plantings (Faulkner et al. 1989). According to Small (1933), the species was escaping from cultivation in southern Louisiana by the 1930’s.

Taxonomic Overview of Ligustrum (Oleaceae) Naturalizaed in North America North of Mexico
Phytologia (December 2009) 91(3) 467 TAXONOMIC OVERVIEW OF LIGUSTRUM (OLEACEAE) NATURALIZAED IN NORTH AMERICA NORTH OF MEXICO Guy L. Nesom 2925 Hartwood Drive Fort Worth, TX 76109, USA www.guynesom.com ABSTRACT A key, morphological descriptions, and basic synonymy are provided for the eight species of Ligustrum known to be naturalized in North America north of Mexico: L. japonicum, L. lucidum, L. obtusifolium (including L. amurense), L. ovalifolium, L. quihoui, L. sinense, L. tschonoskii, and L. vulgare. Identifications have been inconsistent particularly between L. sinense and L. vulgare and between L. japonicum and L. lucidum. The occurrence of L. quihoui outside of cultivation in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma is documented. Phytologia 91(3): 467-482 (December, 2009). KEY WORDS: Ligustrum, Oleaceae, North America, naturalized, taxonomy The lustrous, mostly evergreen leaves and masses of white, fragrant flowers make privets popular for landscaping and hedges. Many of the species, however, have become naturalized in the USA and Canada and already have proved to be destructive colonizers, especially in the Southeast. Among the naturalized species, European privet (Ligustrum vulgare) is native to Europe and northern Africa; all the rest are native to Asia, mainly China, Japan, and Korea. Many new species and varieties of Ligustrum have been described since overviews of Koehne (1904), Lingelsheim (1920), and Mansfield (1924). The genus in eastern Asia has recently been studied by Chang & Miao (1986), and Qin (2009) has provided a taxonomic overview of the whole genus that recognizes 37 species - divided into five sections based primarily on fruit and seed morphology. In Qin’s arrangement, among the North American species, sect.

Privet (Ligustrum Spp.)
W233 Privet (Ligustrum spp.) Becky Koepke-Hill, Extension Assistant, Plant Sciences Greg Armel, Assistant Professor, Extension Weed Specialist for Invasive Weeds, Plant Sciences Origin: Privet species are native to Europe, Asia and Africa and were introduced to the United States primarily for use in the landscape as hedges or tree sculptures. Description: These evergreen to semi-evergreen shrubs can grow up to 15 feet in height. Leaves are glossy with a smooth margin and have an opposite arrangement. Small plumes of white flowers appear in early sum- mer at the end of branches; by fall, dark blue berries are produced. This shrub grows in dense thickets, crowding out many other species growing in the area. Japanese privet (L. japonicum) has tapering, sharp- tipped leaves that can reach 2 to 4 inches long and 1 to 1.8 inches wide. These shrubs are dark green on the upper leaf surface and have pale green veins on the lower leaf surface. Chinese privet (L. sinense) has smaller, thinner and more wavy leaves (1 to 2 inches long by 0.5 to 1 inch wide), and is usually shorter in height. Young branches and midveins on the underside of the leaf are densely pubescent. Habitat: Privet grows in fields, hedgerows, woodlands, for- est edges, upland areas and disturbed areas such as roadsides. Privet species are both shade- and drought- tolerant, which contributes to privets being able to out-compete native species. Environmental Impact: Dense privet hedges prevent the growth of native species and can create a monoculture over time. Many bird and animal species feed on privet fruit and will spread the seed through their feces.
