FAQ

  • Is green privet fast-growing for privacy? Yes, it can reach up to 30cm new growth each year when planted in suitable soil and trimmed regularly.
  • How does Ligustrum ovalifolium compare to laurel? Compared to laurel, privet is more tolerant of pollution, easier to shape, and usually requires less space.
  • Will 100/125cm root balls provide instant screening? Yes, plants at this size range already offer significant coverage on planting.
  • How much maintenance is required? Privet hedges are low-maintenance and respond well to regular trimming, typically 2-3 times per year.
  • What are the benefits of evergreen privet? Unlike deciduous hedges, green privet provides full cover and privacy throughout the year.

Common questions

Bare root plants are field-grown and lifted dormant — the cheapest way to plant a hedge. Pot grown plants have an established root system and can be planted year-round. Root ball plants are mature field-grown plants lifted with a soil ball for instant height.
Pot grown plants can go in the ground at any time of year. Bare root is supplied dormant from November to March, and root ball plants are lifted in that same window.
