"Before I stopped by Moon Valley Nurseries, i had never heard of these privet trees. The nursery pro I worked with was very friendly and knowledgeable. He asked me a few questions to get an understanding of what I wanted to with my yard, then proceeded to show me a few options. I thought I wanted a mesquite or palo verde tree, but after understanding my needs, they showed me these privet trees. They were exactly what I needed. Clean, evergreen, hardy, and not too fast growing or big. I now have several in my backyard and around my patio. Whenever I entertain, my friends and family say I have some sort of hidden garden. These are perfect trees if you want that look. Thank you Moon Valley Nursery!"
