Texas Privet
Ligustrum japonicum 'Texanum'
In the United States:
Cultivated
· also called texas privet, waxleaf privet
Honeybees visit this Japanese privet cultivar for abundant nectar during late-spring bloom, often a significant honey-flow source in urban plantings; pollen is collected but secondary. Peak foraging May–June. The 'Texanum' selection produces few viable seeds, reducing invasiveness vs. wild types, though it can still spread vegetatively in mild climates.
