Um, clearly you didn't read the blurb. This plant is not native and is
invasive
and listed in the TPW as "DO NOT PLANT." Please, do not plant ligustrum.


Yeah, getting back to the charcoal thread, this and cigar tree stumps were
the ones I eventually had to burn out with charcoal. Drilled holes filled
with buttermilk, then used motor oil, following useless attempts with Round
Up at regular strength then Round Up concentrate straight (that was on the
leaves before I cut them down of course...then the edges of the stumps after
they started growing again). And they were growing out from under the house
so couldn't get a stump grinder in there either.

The seeds on that ligustrum (we call them Wax-Leaf Trees) are even more
likely to sprout than Chinese Tallow seeds! And just as numerous. If you
don't mow constantly, you get a self-spreading forest.
