I still have a BUNCH of free JL seeds on the trees if anyone wants them,
and several babies in the yard I've not dug up yet...... G


Might be interested. What are JL seeds?

Japanese Ligustrum...

I'd recommended them as a fast growing, low maintenance hedge plant with
proper trim, and got slammed by others for recommending a "weed" tree.
;-) I love mine and they are prolific and trouble free. I have no
trouble pulling up/weeding out any excess babies that survive.

I actually dig them up and pot them for further hedging.

They get HUGE as a tree but if you prune them properly, I see hedges
made out of them all over town here! I have a few I need to top out back
that are already properly place for privacy hedges...


It's been a couple of weeks since I checked that down branch with all
the seeds... and the waxwings have been flying thru eating them as well
even tho' the berries are supposed to be toxic so I'm not 100% sure if
they are still there...

Ok, just took a quick run out back. :-) The waxwings have pretty well
stripped the trees, but there are two low branches (one of which is
broken and has fallen over my sheds and needs to be removed, but it's
still attached to the tree and is alive) and has a few hundred berries
on it.

They are yours if you want them, and we can dig up a few live baby trees
that survived as well and I've not potted yet.

These trees normally drop thousands of berries every year that shoot up
hundreds of sprouts... the vast majority of which die. They are in
walkways so get stomped to death. Maybe a dozen every year survive and
they get dug up or moved with little effort.
