How to Select Healthy Glossy Privet？

When selecting a healthy glossy privet, look for vibrant, dark green leaves free from yellowing or browning. Check the plant for any signs of pests, such as spider mites or aphids, by inspecting both sides of the leaves. Ensure the stems are strong and the overall plant shows active, vigorous growth without signs of wilting. The roots should be white or light in color, indicating good health. Avoid plants with spots, mold, or any unusual growths.
