Odd, at my parent's home while I was growing up, they had a line of
ligustrum they used for a left side property line. It was in north San
Anonio. The same ligustrum is still there.

Thanks for the link.

Yes, I know. It was overused much like the way Photinia was used and
most of that is not open to a virus in the soil and most of the
Photinia's are now perishing up in DFW.

I have Ligustrums out back. They are evergreen and give shelter to
the birds, but I wouldn't plant them anywhere again. It's on the do
not plant list because it is pushing out native species due to its
hardiness.

Again, that's odd. The ligustrums didn't go anywhere else except where they
were planted. They made plenty of those blue-colored berries. Maybe the
lawnmower inhibited any new growth? But that makes no sense either in
regards to pushing out native species statement. Most lawns/yards don't
contain native species. Puzzled.
