This is for top quality, certified and fully plant passported bare root Green Privet (Ligustrum Ovalifolium)

Green Privet is a wonderful choice for a hedge. With small green leaves throughout the year it offers privacy and reduces noise. If left untrimmed Privet has small creamy white flowers in the spring with a beautiful fresh floral scent.

Green Privet is evergreen and keeps most of its leaves on over the winter providing shelter and year-round screening. It is non thorny and wildlife friendly – providing great habitat for birds and insects.

Green Privet sometimes drops its leaves as a response to being transplanted. Don’t worry the new leaves will be waiting to come out in spring and once established in your garden it will remain evergreen.

Green Privet will grow up to 30 - 40cm per year and can be trimmed into a nice tight hedge – we recommend you trim once a year in Autumn to keep the foliage dense.

All you need to do is simply choose the height of the plants you want to plant now and the number of plants you need.

We recommend 5 plants per metre in a double zig-zag row for a thick hedge, but you can get away with 3-4 per metre in a staggered row if you don’t mind waiting an extra year or two to form a thick hedge.

Many apologies but due to a change in the DEFRA plant health regulations following Brexit we cannot ship plants to Northern Ireland – we are working on this and hope a solution is found soon!
