The Grapes of Privot?

Privet.

Sometimes a bush and sometimes a tree, depending on its landscape destiny.

It has some rather nice flower clusters in spring, and this fruit here near Christmas.

Hi to Alphainventions drop outs?  No.  Drop inns.  That’s the ticket.

DESERT BROOM “the landscapers nightmare”

DESERT BROOM

I once heard a landscaper on TV call it the landcapers nightmare.  It pops up wherever there is a bit of water.

In the worst droughts however, it can be the only green around.  I find them quite attractive, so have not seen them as a nightmare.
