RE: Storm

Hi Jim,  Are these the "Patio Ligustrum" that some landscaper from FL used
in just about every job he did?  This was a TV show on HGTV a couple of
years ago.

There are three "shrubs " that are often grown as trees here. One is
Ligustrum japonica [in Texas L. texanum], which is a privet. Makes an
interesting small, multi-stem tree, to about 20 feet with a 20 foot
spread.
