Privet Shrubs
This product is rated 5.0 of 5.0 stars.

Description
Privet shrub, also known as Ligustrum, is a genus of flowering hedges and small trees that belong to the olive family (Oleaceae). Approximately 50 species of it are native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. It is commonly grown as a hedge plant because of its dense foliage and fast growth rate.
The Privet Shrub Can Get Up To 20 Feet Tall
The plant can grow up to 20 feet tall and 15 feet wide, depending on the species. The leaves are small, oval-shaped, and dark green, growing in an opposite pattern on the stems. The tiny, white, or cream-colored flowers are fragrant.
The Privet Shrub Can Thrive In Many Soils
Privet shrubs are generally easy to care for and adapt to various soil types and growing conditions. They are also reasonably drought-tolerant but will benefit from regular watering during dry periods.
The Privet Shrub Is A Very Fast Grower
One of the plants' main advantages is their fast growth rate. They can grow up to two feet per year with proper care, making them an excellent choice for quickly creating a hedge or privacy screen. However, this fast growth rate can lead to overgrown and unruly hedges if not regularly pruned.
Privet shrubs can be propagated through seeds or cuttings, but cuttings are preferred. Take a cutting from a healthy plant and place it in a rooting hormone. Then, plant the cutting in well-draining soil and water it regularly until it establishes roots.
The Privet Shrub Is Versatile And Low-Maintenance
The plants are a versatile, low-maintenance option for hedges and privacy screens. Their dense foliage, fast growth rate, and adaptability make them popular for homeowners and landscapers.
