Ligustrum vulgare or Privet, is a plant that grows wild in Europe and North Africa. It is a shrub that can grow from one to four meters high, with straight branches that are dense, gray, marked with a few warty spots. This shrub likes ventilated areas, growing in open woods, willow plantation, thickets on edges, in hedgerows, and preferably on dry soils. Its fragrant white flowers grow in clusters, while its black berries remain attached to the shrub for the entire winter.[1]
