Florida Privet

Hedges, screens.

Tolerant of occasional/brief inundation such as can occur in storm surges.



Moderate. Tolerant of salty wind and may get some salt spray. Exposure to salt spray would be uncommon (major storms).

Reseeds.

Birds and other wildlife consume the fruit and use the privet for cover.  Especially important for songbirds because the fruits mature before most other fleshy fruits ripen.

Dry sites. Coastal hammocks, coastal scrub, thickets.

• Hurricane wind resistance
