Ligustrum lucidum, commonly known as glossy privet, is an evergreen tree or large shrub native to China. It belongs to the Oleaceae family and is widely cultivated around the world for ornamental and practical purposes. The tree is particularly valued for its attractive, glossy green leaves, which are oval-shaped, leathery, and have a distinct shine that gives the species its name. It can grow up to 10–15 metres in height under favourable conditions, forming a dense, rounded crown.

The small, creamy-white flowers appear in summer and are borne in upright panicles. Though not particularly showy, they are fragrant and attract bees and other pollinators. The flowers give way to clusters of small, black, berry-like fruits in autumn, which are favoured by birds but considered mildly toxic to humans if ingested in large quantities.

Ligustrum lucidum is highly adaptable and tolerant of a range of soils, urban pollution, drought, and pruning, making it a popular choice for hedging, screening, and roadside planting.
