Looking for an ornamental plant with medicinal benefits? Meet Ligustrum lucidum, also known as Glossy Privet or Chinese Privet. This evergreen tree, native to southern China, is often used as a hedge due to its dense, evergreen leaves that can be pruned to shape. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but it has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 1,000 years. The fruit is said to be antibacterial, antiseptic, antitumour, and diuretic. It is believed to aid in the treatment of menopausal issues, blurred vision, rheumatic pains, palpitations, and insomnia. Modern research has even shown its potential in the treatment of cancer and AIDS. With its bright, shiny leaves and medicinal properties, why not add Ligustrum lucidum to your garden?
