Ligustrum can be defoliated and the best time is when it is absolutely healthy & growing.
In winter a good frost may defoliate them for you.

Ty. It's placed semi-indoor (closed balcony) so no auto defoliation for me.

I have found Ligustrum to be very strong once healthy, and to come back, not matter whether you defoliate one or all of the bracnhes.
