Just what I learned in botany. And it’s not an overwhelming smell unless it’s stick in your nose. On the good side it does attract huge numbers of cedar waxwings, which are beautiful birds.

There are a lot better shrubs you can plant for a privacy hedge. If you are in Dallas then hollies like Needlepoint, Dwarf Burford (gets to 6-8' tall) and Nellie R. Stevens (15' tall) Variegated Chinese Privet which is a cream color and not as invasive as regular CP. Loropetalum which has many varieties many with purple leaves. Native drought tolerant shrubs Dwarf Wax Myrtle (gets to 8-10' tall), Greencloud sage (8-10' with a purple bloom off & on through spring summer and fall. Does lose some leaves but not all in the winter) Dwarf Palmetto (5-8' tall) Cherry Laurel is another good option and it looks kind of like a ligustrum
Don't overlook Viburnum as well.
"Viburnum hedge plants create lush, dense privacy screens that produce fragrant spring flowers. Viburnum hedging is ideal for formal or informal hedges, depending on how much you want to prune the shrub."
"Sweet Viburnum (Viburnum odoratissimum) for full sun, Sandankwa Viburnum (Viburnum suspensum) for shade, Laurustine (Viburnum tinus), and Chindo viburnum (Viburnum awabuki ‘Chindo’)."

planting privet should be illegal.
It's been talked about in Georgia. The government has spent a lot of time and money trying to eradicate it from state forests.

It is in Tennessee.
quote:
It is illegal to sell and propagate Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) in Tennessee because it is a highly invasive plant that causes environmental and economic harm by crowding out native species. The state has a regulated pest plant list that includes Chinese privet, making its sale and cultivation prohibited under Tennessee Department of Agriculture regulations.

Surely a troll post.
Removing privity is high on my list of yard problems.
Loppers and Tordon RTU are the only proven methods or ridding that awful garbage from the yard.

I'm hoping to grow some Kudzu. Any tips?

Mix it in with some Golden Bamboo. Should make for a nice landscape.

That first batch started drying out really quickly. Don’t think they’re gonna make it. I had to dig up some old equipment out of the garage. Got 96 in the dirt before dark. Fingers crossed.

See? Even Nature thinks it's a bad idea. It's trying to save you from yourself.

My neighbor has a row of ligustrum on the other side if out fence line. Been there for 20 years. It’s never spread in ether of our yards. Is it a different variant than the spawn of Satan manifested in botanicals discussed in this thread?
ETA…. I have some brushkiller vine for anyone that wants to have another option for destroying landscapes.

Maybe I overcorrected. Do these look too wet now? Open vents more maybe?
Sorry for the image quality. I got stormed on for an hour on Saturday and figured my iPhone was waterproof.
