The largest mound is an ovate shape 24 feet long and 16 feet wide. I’d estimate that it’s 2.5 to 3 feet high. There are dozens of outlying mounds of various sizes. At least 10 mature ligustrums (glossy privet) have been killed by this colony, perhaps because we have uprooted or girdled hundreds of others in the one-acre site. The photo pointed skyward shows the canopy of one of these glossy privets and the Ashe junipers in the area. Note that there is not one leaf on the glossy privet. Also, the trunks show no green when scratched.
