I agree with Joe Fazio! They are NOT slow growers. I live in zone 7B; the 7 newest ones in my front flower bed were 1 gallon buckets last year/12” tall at highest tip. This year they are 3’ tall highest tip. Had to cut the tops out of them to see my front porch! Their growth is not a fluke; 2 in my backyard are 3 years old and over 6’ tall. They grow like they are on steroids. But, you talk about color! They are GORGEOUS! Even after a harsh pruning, within 2-3 days the color is back! Love my “sunshines”! Now to find my pruning shears…2nd pruning in 2 months.
I have bought these two times....and each time they stay green....no mater where I put them....my neighbor has them and they are yellow very bright lemon yellow.........I get so aggravated with them.........I tried to take them back, but lost my receipt..........is there any liquid I can put in the ground to change their chemical structure so they will be yellow..........I want the lemon yellow so very bad, I have green things everywhere, but NO lemon yellow..............what can I do........please reply if possible and if you cannot reply Stacey and Gabriel, the please answer me some reader that has solved this problem........thanks ahead of time........
It is a aggressive, invasive, non native plant that with send runners out into your landscape and is very difficult to control. It is taking over our native forests and is edging out native understory trees like dogwood and redbud. This process is eliminating butterflies and therefore songbirds from our landscapes. It is on the pest species list in several states. Many nurseries no longer carry it.
False…this cultivar is sterile and will not reseed as the lady stated in the video. Therefore it isn’t a part of the more aggressive ligustrum cultivars. I have 21 of these in my landscape and haven’t had an issue of containment ever.
There is absolutely no invasiveness issue with this cultivar. It is a welcome spot of bright yellow in the landscape and a hearty one at that. It is a bit of a slow grower but when it hits it stride it takes off. Highly recommend it for hardiness and aesthetic value.

Bought my mom two for mother’s day. I love citron green. Hope she decides to keep them. We do have any shrubs and we have a big yard.
Planted one 👍

Can i plant these in Massachusetts zone 6?
Yes but first winter keep them covered
Slow grower ????? No any of our Sunshine's !!!!!! In fact pruning several times per growing season is a must to manage desired shape.
Can they be kepted only in containers?
Thanks for commenting! They can be planted in the ground and do best in zones 6a - 10b. Full sun is ideal for bright yellow foliage.
@@greendynamix doesn't really answer what was asked ... I also want to know if they can be kept in containers on a balcony, for example.
@@marchos3417 yes they can
@@heyitsjayci99 Thank you!
Mine are all dying or dead. Lady said water everyday. Nope. Hardest plant I have planted to care for yet. No care info
