ligustrum tree
If you’re searching for the perfect combination of attractive foliage, versatility, and resilience in your New Zealand garden, the ligustrum tree stands out as a top choice. Beloved for its glossy leaves, fragrant white flowers, and dense growth habit, the ligustrum tree is a staple in both formal landscape designs and relaxed, cottage-style borders. With several varieties thriving in New Zealand conditions, it’s easy to find a ligustrum tree that suits your garden’s specific needs—whether you want lush hedging, a privacy screen, or a showy specimen plant.
Ligustrum Rotundifolium (Ligustrum japonicum)
Ligustrum japonicum Rotundifolium, commonly known as Japanese Privet, grows as a small, compact, rounded bush and carries glossy, dark green leaves which have a unique curl. Clusters of cream-coloured flowers are borne in summer and are a lovely feature as it grows to 1.5 m tall and 1 m wide. Ligustrum Rotundifolium is often clipped into hedge, added to a mixed planting, maintained in a container, or used to provide architectural interest.
Cercis canadensis Texas White
Cercis canadensis Texas White, commonly known as the White Redbud tree, is a small tree grown for its colourful foliage, great form, and lovely flowers. The glossy, heart shaped leaves emerge light green in spring, age to become dark green, then develop yellow tones in autumn before falling. Masses of small, white blossoms are produced as the foliage emerges in spring. It grows with a broad and rounded canopy to about 4.5 m tall and 3.5 m wide. Cercis Texas White is commonly grown as a specimen, used in avenues, planted to border an entrance, or included in a mixed planting.
