Ligustrum Obtusifolium Subsp. Microphyllum

Ligustrum obtusifolium subsp. microphyllum is a unique variant of the common privet plant found in specific regions of eastern Asia. It is characterized by its small, oval-shaped leaves that give it a distinct appearance compared to other privet species. This subspecies thrives in moist, shaded environments and is often found in forest understories. Its delicate foliage and moderate growth rate make it a popular choice for ornamental landscaping. Despite its beauty, it requires careful management to prevent it from becoming invasive in non-native habitats.
