Where can I buy ligustrum undulatum (box leaf privet) in the United States?
I live in the Seattle area but can mail order from anywhere in the U.S.
I need about ten plants for a hedge.

I don't know about this specific plant... I would caution anyone against planting privet, though...

One of the worst things you could plant...

There's plenty of alternatives to give the same look without devastating the entire ecosystem...

Welcome!
That seems hard to find in US. It is from New Guinea and barely present on USDA PLANTS

Search brings up a lot of Australia sites like

It may not be in the trade here in US. A good local nursery (not a big box store) should be able to suggest an alternative.
Plant it and they will come.

You might try Pittosporum 'Silver Sheen' as a substitute.
