Similar to but smaller than the Cloud Tree (Ligustrum lucidum) and often confused with it. It also has darker green leaves than the Cloud Tree (which can grow to 40ft). In Britain this is unlikely to grow more than about 15ft - 20ft.
It benefits from having a good feed from time to time (to keep the nice dark green leaves) and is tolerant of any reasonably well drained soil including chalk.
