This bonsai tree is a beauty in the summer! With its light green tender leaves, it has white fragrant flowers that turn into black berries. Their branches grow very vigorously, so please adopt a heavy hand at pruning it to keep its shape. This species also goes by the name Chinese Privet.

It was introduced to North America to be used for hedges and landscaping where it has now escaped from yard cultivation and is listed as an invasive plant in the Southeastern states. It is estimated that Chinese Privet now occupies over one million hectares of land across 12 states ranging from Virginia to Florida and west to Texas. A true testament to its super strong growth capabilities!
