I had a great experience working with Paul’s Nursery from start to finish. They helped me select several fruit trees and handled the installation, and the entire process was smooth and professional. The team was knowledgeable, answered all my questions, and clearly cared about doing the job right. The trees were healthy, well-planted, and everything was done with attention to detail. I highly recommend Paul’s Nursery to anyone looking for quality fruit trees and reliable installation.

It saddens me to come to this page and see only 4 stars for this stellar business. It almost makes me wonder if the reviewers left their review on the wrong page. I experienced exactly zero of the negative experiences described in some of these reviews. I responded to their ad on facebook and was pleasantly surprised every step of the way! Communication was prompt, professional, respectful, courteous, and most certainly not aggressive. The staff was extraordinarily accommodating, going out on a limb (See what I did there?) to ensure my satisfaction. I purchased a Persian Lime tree from them. They delivered AND planted it at no additional charge – and I live over FIFTY MILES from their site! Upon delivery, the tree was already laden with fruit! This was a birthday gift for my sister. Growing up in Northern Michigan, she would have never dreamed that one day she would have a lime tree in her backyard. THANK you, Shelsea, Paul & staff for taking my sister’s Florida Dreams to the next level. We will definitely see you again!!!

For Christmas 2020 I bought my wife 5 citrus trees from Paul's Nursery. He picked out some very good trees, whenever I had a question he would walk me through it. Normally the first year you get very few pieces of fruit. Because of the quality of Paul's trees and his help after sale this is the first years crop.Pictures of our trees as of Christmas 2021.

Why Buy Ligustrum Trees

Polish is the first thing people notice about a Ligustrum. Its leaves run thick and glossy, packed tight along every branch in a deep, even green. That density hands the tree a full, groomed look no matter the season. Being evergreen, it never thins out or drops into a bare winter stretch. The best-loved version is the standard, a rounded head riding a single clean trunk. That tailored, lollipop shape drops instant structure into a yard. Place two at a doorway and the entrance reads finished and intentional. Very few plants arrive this manicured with so little coaxing.

What really sets the tree apart is how many jobs it can do. Grown on one trunk, it serves as a graceful accent by an entry or path. Kept full and clipped, it packs down into a tidy, formal hedge. Set several in a line and they close into a tall privacy wall. One plant, in other words, covers roles that would take three different species elsewhere. A homeowner can run it crisp and formal or let it soften into something looser. It shears so willingly that even topiary is on the table. The team can talk through which shape earns its place in your yard.

Speed is another reason the Ligustrum stays in demand. It puts on growth quickly, closing a hedge or screen well ahead of slower evergreens. Real coverage often arrives inside a couple of seasons rather than many. Homeowners tired of babying a slow plant tend to breathe easier with this one. An open fence line or a bare bed fills in before long. That same quick response makes the tree forgiving to train and reshape. A small starter matures into a full specimen in just a few years. For a landscape starting from scratch, that pace is hard to beat.

Hauling the tree home is a headache Paul’s Nursery takes on for you. A full evergreen wedged into a passenger seat rarely ends well. The crew loads and moves each one with proper equipment and a steady hand. Your Ligustrum shows up looking exactly as it did on the lot. The planting itself is built into the order, never slipped on as a late fee. Team members bed the root ball in ready soil and do the digging. Every estimate names the full figure before a shovel turns. Approve that number and it holds, start to finish.

A seasonal flourish rounds out the tree’s appeal. Come spring, clusters of small white flowers open across the canopy. Those blooms lay a soft, bright accent over the deep green backdrop. The flowers carry a scent strong enough to mark the turn of the season. Once they fade, small dark ornamental berries can follow along the stems. That brief show of bloom and berry lends the tree a little extra character. It is a trait worth weighing when you pick the planting spot. The team will happily walk through the flowering habit before you buy.

Every tree that leaves the gate has passed a careful eye. Each Ligustrum is raised and looked over right on the grounds. Routine walk-throughs surface any trouble while it is still minor. A tree that looks doubtful stays behind rather than heading to a yard. The crew would sooner eat the loss than send out a plant likely to struggle. That principle runs straight from the family that has always owned the place. Reputation here rests on results you can count on, not a lucky load. A long line of returning buyers keeps proving the point.

Upkeep after planting stays refreshingly light. For the first few weeks, keep water coming steadily as the tree roots in. Once it settles, drop back to a pair of deep soakings a week when the rains go quiet. Ground that drains suits it best, since the roots resent staying wet. A spring feeding backs strong, glossy new growth. Regular trimming keeps a standard, hedge, or screen full and sharp. After it establishes, the tree brushes off heat and dry spells on its own. Order from Paul’s Nursery, and the hands that grew your tree are the ones that plant it.

Commonly Asked Ligustrum Trees Planting Questions

Paul’s Nursery keeps a Ligustrum purchase straightforward, pairing healthy trees with candid placement advice and delivery throughout Central Florida. The questions below cover what shoppers ask most before they buy.

The short answer is that ligustrum and privet are the same plant. Ligustrum is the botanical name, and privet is the common name people have used for generations. So a customer asking for one is really asking for the other. The tree forms sold for landscaping are usually the glossy, broad-leaved types. Those are the handsome, well-behaved plants shaped into standards and hedges. The name privet sometimes calls to mind the weedy shrubs that grow wild in some regions. The landscape tree forms are a different, more refined use of the same family. The team is happy to clear up the naming during the buying conversation.

Knowing this helps set the right expectations for the plant. The ligustrum grown at Paul’s Nursery is chosen for its looks and versatility. It carries thick, glossy, deep green leaves that hold their color all year. That foliage is what makes the tree so useful for accents, hedges, and screens. The plant shears cleanly, which is why it takes so well to formal shaping. Those qualities are exactly what a homeowner wants in a landscape evergreen. The common name does not change how attractive or useful the plant is. It simply reflects the long history of the plant in yards and gardens.

The distinction matters most when you are shopping and comparing plants. Seeing both names on labels or lists can cause needless confusion. Understanding they are one and the same makes the choice simpler. Paul’s Nursery carries the landscape tree forms suited to Central Florida yards. The team can point you to the exact type that fits your project. That guidance keeps you from second-guessing the name on the tag. A quick call or text sorts out any lingering questions. The plant you get is a proven performer whatever you call it.

Flexibility is the ligustrum’s greatest strength in the landscape. Trained to a single trunk with a rounded head, it becomes an elegant standard tree. Left fuller and sheared, it forms a dense, formal hedge. Spaced in a row, it grows into a tall privacy screen. That range lets one plant fill entirely different roles in a yard. Your space, your style, and your goal all guide the choice. The glossy foliage looks polished in every one of those forms. The team helps you decide which shape suits your property best.

Steering the plant toward a form is simple with a little direction. For a standard tree, you favor one trunk and clear the lower growth over time. For a hedge, you let the plant branch full and shear it to clean lines. For a screen, you set several in a row and let them knit together. The plant responds fast to pruning, which makes any of these easy to keep up. Starting the shaping early keeps the whole process painless. The dense canopy fills back in quickly after each trim. The crew can show you how to guide the plant as it grows.

The form you land on sets the whole tone of the yard. A standard tree makes a tidy accent by a door or along a path. A hedge frames a bed, a drive, or a boundary with clean structure. A screen curtains off a view and adds privacy along a line. The same plant can even be trained into topiary shapes. Mixing forms brings real depth to a larger landscape design. The shared glossy green ties those different uses together visually. Paul’s Nursery can help you plan the combination that fits your space.

The ligustrum is one of the best plants for shaped and sculpted forms. Its dense, small leaves take shearing cleanly and fill back in fast. That responsiveness is why it is a favorite for standards and topiary. A standard is the classic look of a rounded head on a clear, single trunk. To build one, you select a strong central stem and remove the lower branches. The head is then trimmed regularly into a full, rounded shape. Over time, that shaping produces the tidy lollipop form seen at so many entryways. The result is a formal, tailored accent that anchors a landscape.

Topiary takes that same shearing habit a step further. The plant can be clipped into balls, tiers, spirals, and other formal shapes. Its tight growth holds a crisp edge better than many other evergreens. Light, frequent trims keep the shape sharp and the surface dense. Cutting during the warm growing season lets the plant recover quickly. A steady hand and regular attention are all the plant really asks. Because it grows back so readily, small mistakes rarely cause lasting harm. That forgiving nature makes topiary approachable even for newer gardeners.

Keeping a shaped ligustrum sharp is an ongoing but easy task. Regular trims hold the form far better than occasional heavy cutbacks. The fast growth means the plant fills in between shapings without gaps. Removing any stray or crossing growth keeps the outline clean. A standard needs its head refreshed and its trunk kept clear of sprouts. A topiary needs its shape touched up as new growth softens the lines. None of it takes long once the routine becomes familiar. Paul’s Nursery can outline a simple shaping schedule for your plant.

Yes, ligustrum trees flower as part of their yearly cycle. In spring, the plant produces clusters of small white blooms. Those flowers stand out softly against the deep green, glossy leaves. The bloom adds a fresh seasonal accent to the tree. The flowers also carry a strong, sweet fragrance that drifts through the yard. Some people enjoy that scent, while others find it fairly heavy. It is worth knowing about before you settle on a planting spot. The team is upfront about the flowering habit during the buying conversation.

The bloom is a brief, seasonal event rather than a year-round feature. The flowers open for a stretch in spring and then fade. After the blooms, small dark ornamental berries can form on the branches. Those berries add a bit of extra character but are not grown for eating. The tree is valued mainly for its foliage and form, so the bloom is a bonus. That means the flowering is a nice touch rather than the main reason to plant it. Knowing what to expect helps you decide where the tree belongs. The seasonal color and scent suit some yards better than others.

Placement gives you real control over the flowering experience. A tree set away from windows and patios keeps the scent at a comfortable distance. A tree near a walkway lets you take in the bloom up close. Regular shearing also reduces flowering for anyone who prefers less of it. Trimming a hedge, for example, removes much of the bloom in the process. That gives you a simple way to manage the scent to your liking. The team can help you choose a spot that fits your preference. Paul’s Nursery shares this kind of practical detail with every customer.

This is an honest and fair question for any pet owner to ask. Ligustrum leaves and berries are considered toxic to pets and livestock if eaten. That places it among many common landscape plants that are best not chewed on. The concern applies only if an animal actually ingests part of the plant. For most households, a ligustrum in the yard poses little day-to-day risk. Still, pet owners deserve the full picture before they plant. The team is always straightforward about this during the buying conversation. Knowing the facts lets you make the right call for your home.

A little awareness goes a long way toward keeping pets safe. Discouraging dogs and cats from chewing on any landscape plant is wise. Curious young pets are the most likely to test a new plant. Placing the tree where pets do not linger reduces the chance entirely. Prompt cleanup of any dropped berries adds another layer of caution. Owners of grazing animals like horses should take extra care with placement. If a pet ever eats part of the plant and seems unwell, a vet is the right call. These are sensible habits rather than reasons to avoid the plant outright.

For homes where this is a real concern, options exist. Paul’s Nursery grows many plants with different safety profiles. The team can suggest an alternative if a toxic plant does not suit your household. Bottlebrush, for instance, is widely regarded as a non-toxic flowering choice. Talking through your pets and your yard helps land on the right fit. That honest guidance is part of how the nursery does business. No one here will push a plant that does not suit your situation. A quick conversation makes sure you plant with confidence.

Yellowing leaves on a ligustrum usually trace back to a few common causes. In Central Florida’s sandy soil, a nutrient shortage is often the culprit. Iron or manganese deficiencies can leave the foliage pale or yellowed. The pattern of the yellowing offers a clue to the cause. Yellow leaves with green veins often point to a micronutrient gap. A balanced fertilizer with micronutrients usually corrects that over time. Sandy soil holds few nutrients, so regular feeding keeps the tree fed. The team can recommend a product and schedule suited to local conditions.

Watering issues are the other frequent source of yellow leaves. Too little water can stress the tree and fade the foliage. Roots sitting in soggy ground can do the same and worse. The goal is steady moisture without letting the soil stay waterlogged. Consistent water through the first few weeks helps a new tree settle. After that, a couple of deep waterings a week works well outside the rainy season. Good drainage in the planting spot protects the roots from rot. Reading the soil moisture helps you tell dry stress from wet stress.

A few habits keep a ligustrum green and healthy. Plant the tree in a spot with good drainage and solid sun. Feed it on a regular schedule with a fertilizer built for the local soil. Water steadily rather than in heavy, infrequent soakings. Watch the newest growth, since deficiencies often show there first. Catching a problem early makes the fix simple and quick. A little yellowing is easy to reverse with the right care. Paul’s Nursery stays reachable by phone if your tree needs a closer look.

Ligustrum roots are worth a little planning around, as with any established tree. The plant develops a vigorous root system to support its fast growth. That vigor is part of why the tree fills in so quickly above ground. Near a pool, a foundation, or a driveway, sensible clearance is the smart move. A bit of distance lets the roots spread without pressing on structures. The standard and hedge forms have a smaller footprint than a large shade tree. Proper placement heads off nearly all root concerns before they start. The team can recommend a safe distance during the estimate visit.

The right spacing depends on the form and the setting. A full standard tree wants more room from hardscape than a trimmed hedge. A hedge or screen can sit closer to a fence or property line. Pools and paved areas deserve a comfortable buffer from any tree. The crew checks for underground utilities before digging any hole. That step protects both the tree and the lines beneath the yard. Planting with the mature size in mind prevents crowding later. Paul’s Nursery folds this planning into every install.

Good placement lets the tree thrive without causing trouble. Roots with room to spread keep the tree healthy and well anchored. A well-rooted ligustrum stands up better to Florida wind and storms. Keeping the tree a sensible distance from structures keeps everyone at ease. Decent drainage in the spot supports strong, healthy roots. Steady water in the first few weeks helps them establish. The crew places each tree with both beauty and safety in mind. Paul’s Nursery shares this kind of practical detail with anyone who asks.

Yes, Paul’s Nursery delivers and plants Ligustrum trees across the Central Florida service area. The planting is part of the order, not a separate charge at the end. The crew arrives with the trees, the equipment, and the skill to set them properly. Every step is handled, from opening the hole to the first deep soak. A free estimate lays out the cost and schedule before work begins. The team confirms the spot, the timing, and any prep needs ahead of time. Homeowners in Clermont, Winter Garden, The Villages, and nearby towns use this service often. For most people, the convenience alone makes it worthwhile.

The installation follows a practiced, reliable sequence. The crew surveys the location, checks for buried lines, and confirms the site suits the tree. The hole is dug to the right depth and width, with the root flare set true. Native soil goes back around the roots to draw them into the surrounding ground. Good drainage gets a look, since the tree dislikes standing water. A thorough first watering beds the roots into their new home. Before leaving, the team walks you through the follow-up care. Most jobs finish in a single visit.

Scheduling depends on the season and how full the calendar runs. Spring and fall bring the busiest stretch of homeowners. Calling early helps you claim a delivery date that fits your week. The nursery works around the weather when it can, since heavy rain can affect a fresh planting. A short phone call keeps the process clear and direct. Each delivery gets the same care the trees received on the grounds. The goal is a tree that thrives long after the truck pulls away. That aim guides every step of the service.
