"Ligustrum sinense ... is one of the most noxious of all weeds in much of our area, choking out native vegetation. The rapidity with which it has engulfed southern wetlands is hinted at by Small's (1933) mention of it only as 'an escape in southern Louisiana'." — Alan S. Weakley in Flora of the Southeastern US (2023)
