Florida Privet, also called Swampprivet, is a long-lived perennial shrub that can grow anywhere from 5-15 ft tall and 5-10 ft wide. It is deciduous, so expect leaf drop in the winter. Unique flowers will begin in the early spring followed by dark olive-like berries. These berries are not edible for humans, but wildlife seems to enjoy them. 
 
Florida Privet is an easy to grow bush. It can be pruned to a desired height or shape. Use it as a hedge, a border plant, or speciment plant. 
 
This plant requires a pollinator in order to fruit. You will want two of these if you don't already have one or have naturally occuring privet nearby.
