おもしろい事実

Border privet berries stay on the plant all winter long, giving hungry birds a treat when other food is scarce!

Its scientific name, *Ligustrum*, might come from a Latin word meaning 'to tie,' for its flexible branches!

Some people think its name 'privet' comes from 'private' because it's so good for making hedges!
