[IBC] Ligustrum indoors
I've checked what few sources I can find on growing Ligustrum
indoors and it appears that it CAN grow there. Ligustrum is one of the toughest trees around, and will grow where other trees would give up. Mr. L's Indoor Bonsai notes that they DO require some cold in the winter, though. However, I think I'd recommend that the "easy" asterisk * be removed from Ligustrum as an indoor tree. It is one of the absolute easiest outdoor trees (and I'd guess that's why I made that note), but I'd suspect that because of its propensity for attracting various sucking insects (especially white flies, but also aphids and scale) it would be considerable more difficult indoors. There also is a reference in the introductory text (near the end) the refers to them as easy, and I'd zap that, too. _I_ wouldn't grow Ligustrum indoors, but they I don't grow anything indoors if I can help it. (I have one quite nice Tamarindus indica that comes in for December-February.) Everything else stays out except when the weatherman says otherwise.
