Best Answer

Privets [Ligustrum] are shrubs and small trees that are native to Asia, Australasia, Europe, and North Africa. They're so-called, for the privacy they give as hedges. They're attractive to wildlife, because of their fragrant small flowers, and for their small black or purple fruits ka drupes. In fact, their fruits produce thousands of seeds for birds. And they're food plants to certain larvae, such as that of the willow beauty butterfly. But they can also be unattractive. For they're poisonous to horses. Outside their native range, they can take over wildernesses and outcompete native plants. And their pollen can cause Asthma and eczema in people.
