New Mexico privet is not a true privet. It is an upright shrub with bright, light green leaves that turn yellow in fall. It can be pruned into a multi-stemmed, tree-like shape or can be left as a rambling, rounded bush.

The white bark is a beautiful contrast to the light green leaves, and it shows well against dark backgrounds during the winter. It is an excellent choice for low water landscapes.
