First green, then mature to blue berries. Can make Yin tonic from those.

Ligustrum is a tree.

Its a pest like the chinaberry tree. Spread by birds. I saw a 30 ft.
chinaberry tree behind a carwash in Wimberley. Rest were usual live oak,
red oak, and "cedar" trees.

My parents used ligustrum for a hedgerow for over two decades. Then, cut
them down due to size.

Mine are the original 1982 contractor shrubs - fast growing, evergreen.
They do need regular trimming if they are used as a hedge. They are
normally freeze hardy in Austin. I did have them get hurt when we went
down below 10F once in the last 20 years.
