My partners backyard!
As pretty as the berries & leaves are, Privet is not our friend 😭 I wanted to get some pictures of it before they tried removing it

Some of the Privets are coming into flower, I take this as a Wax-Leaf Privet (Ligustrum japonicum)...

Greek Necromantic Spell (1)
For the ancient Greeks, a fire made from privet [Ligustrum vulgare] opened the gates to the afterlife. To summon and speak with ghosts, burn wormwood on a bed of privet fire.

I hate privet! Everything about it is awful and invasive and SO damaging to native ecosystems here in the American south
Any time your in the woods, do the earth a favor and pick as MUCH of it as you can! It’s very easy to spot. I’ll teach you how to identify it below!
The easiest way to spot them is their leaves, their branches have symmetrical eye-shaped leaves on either side!
Here is a closeup, another way is how they grow! They shoot up very tall very fast, it isn’t short and stout, it shoots almost straight up! Here’s a juvenile (the best time to pick them)
And lastly, dispose of it in a trash bag or dumpster! They are like a virus, they can grow from anything, even their own remains! It’s best to dispose of them in a synthetic material.
Do good, help the environment! Kill all the privet you can if you live in the US

Can't wait for Cinderpaw to be renamed Flatfoot and become the greatest detective the Clans have ever seen!
With her best friend, Priveteye!
