Privet 6ft (180cm) Rootballed (Second Rate)

These 6ft Privet hedging plants come out of our normal production beds but are the thinner second rate plants that have been left when we have graded out the best to sell as premium quality hedging plants.  Some of these are not growing straight, are slightly lopsided and have bare bases where they are missing foliage.  They will all grow well and recover and form a good hedge in the fullness of time but will not look perfect straight away.  The price of these reflects this.  These are a perfect screening solution where instant effect is not necessary.

Privet is relatively quick growing and one can expect up to a foot (30cm) of growth a year if left untrimmed. It forms a dense semi-evergreen hedge with oval shaped green leaves and produces white highly scented flowers in the spring and looks good in formal situations.

It can be grown as a small hedge of 3-4ft (90-120cm) in height but will be equally happy if grown as a 6ft Privet hedge to give that all important eye level privacy.

A Privet hedge will need to be trimmed annually in the spring or autumn as you would with any other hedge.

We recommend planting these Privet at 1.5ft (45cm) apart.

Privet is tolerant of most soil types although it does not like waterlogged soil. It also grows quite happily in full sunshine and is also shade tolerant making it versatile for a number of different situations.
