Ligustrum ovalifolium

#autumn #berries on the privet.

Wonderful colour

Do you allow it to flower @richard.spicer.7906 👍

Not usually Pearl, but this year I was a bit lit with trimming, and then I had to abandon it completely because of nesting birds. So I left it and it decided to flower and now fruit 😁 @fuschia

We keep our hedge reasonably trimmed but on the odd occasion a flower appears. They smell delicious. Because it borders next door we have to keep it in order. Never seen berries though 😊😊😊

Even my untamed Privet hedge is starting to form #berries ! 😮 you won't see this often if you trim them regularly

I've seen them flower @richard.spicer.7906 but never seen berries before.

Never seen berries on a privet before 😏

Close up of the flowers. Attractive to pollinators.

Are they scented @richard.spicer.7906ard.spicer.7906

I didn't even think to try smelling it? I'm not sure @kathy

Classic Privet hedge. You wouldn't normally see it flower as these hedges require regular trimming, but as i've not done all of my trimming yet this season (due to birds nesting) it's decided to flower!

What a great "accident".

That's fantastic
