Product Description

10 Green Privet / Ligustrum Ovalfolium 90-120cm (3-4ft) Tall

 

These are BARE ROOTED plants which can be planted from the end of October until April and will be dispatched as soon as the weather turns cold and they become dormant. The dispatch date depends on the Autumn temperature and varies from year to year.

 

Privet can be grown as a small formal hedge or a large hedge. It is evergreen/semi-evergreen (can lose its foliage when transplanted in Winter) and can provide excellent shelter and privacy.

 

The denseness provided by the small ovate leaves makes for a good hedge that some small birds use for a nesting site. It has a good growth rate of 40-60cm per year dependent on conditions reaching a maximum of 4m tall. To keep it neat we would recommend trimming it twice per year. It will tolerate most conditions including shade and exposed areas. When planted as bare root, we would advise to prune the plants hard to encourage bushy growth. Great for windproofing and privacy screening.

    Very easy to order on line and good delivery and value as advised. The plants came all tightly packed together in one bundl;e strapped up - didnt look very happy on arrival (the plants!). I soaked in water for 3-4 hours then planted. They seem to have taken ok. I guess the proof is when they start growing in spring - ask me again then! Thank you.

    Although shocked at first at the single wrapped package of 10 plants, they are in good condition and planted well -so far!

    Nerves settled

    Posted by Roger on 2nd Jul 2021

    I ordered the 10 bare-rooted privet plants in early March. The parcel arrived 10 days later looking like a small Christmas tree in very secure plastic packaging - almost frustratingly so as there was a lot of strong sticky tape to cut through. At least the moist roots were well preserved. I waited a couple more days for the weather forecast to indicate frost free nights and planted them out, taking a foot off the length to encourage side shoots. There then followed a series of icy nights and I worried slightly that the conditions might adversely affect the plants, especially when my already established hedge started showing buds. Regular forensic examination was made to see if the new plants were exhibiting any signs of growth. It took a long time but I am happy to report that they have taken off phenomenally and have already caught up with some potted stock I planted 2 years previously. An excellent purchase.

    Very pleased

    Posted by Eljay on 24th Apr 2018

    Plants were delivered quickly and well packaged. I wasn’t sure what to expect but they looked healthy and had a great root system on them. Now I’ve planted them they seem to be doing well. It’s the first time I have ordered from them and will do again and I would happily recommend them to anyone else thinking of ordering.
