CARE

Plant your Howardi Ligustrum in full to partial sun. Ligustrum is extremely adaptable to just about any soil. However, avoid areas with standing water or constantly saturated soil. This condition promotes disease. Also known as Privets, Ligustrum grows in warmer planting zones, 7 to 10. These shrub trees are pest and disease resistant and once established are maintenance-free!

Remember to always keep your plants fertilized with a high-quality, slow-release fertilizer. We have our own custom blend made to give your new plants the best start! Fertilize Ligustrum when planting, in early spring and, again, in late summer or early fall.

Water your ligustrum deeply upon planting and once or twice weekly while establishing their root systems. Once established, Ligustrum is quite drought tolerant. You will only need to water during extremely dry periods. Ligustrum can withstand heavy pruning, but doesn’t require it. Prune any time of the year.

The Howardi Ligustrum is pest and disease resistant and once established is virtually maintenance-free! Ligustrums are drought, heat, pollution, and deer tolerant.
