Height : .75m to 2.2m
Origin : Japan
Environment : open forests, thickets; in full or partial sun
Climate : temperate

Notes :
The Golden Privet is a semi-evergreen species, meaning that it usually keeps it’s green foliage all over the year, but during severely cold winters, or along the coasts, it can lose part of all of it’s foliage in the winter season. The species is much appreciated in gardening because it endures pruning well and the colour of the leaves is very showy. The species is toxic for humans and can cause health problems if ingested.
