Oval Leaf Privet Hedging Ligustrum Ovalifolium AKA Korean Privet, Garden Privet and California Privet.

Oval leaf Privet is considered to be tough, low maintenance, dense and fast-growing when compared to other privet hedging plants and is ideal for screening, windbreaks and/or noise reduction. Being pollution resistant makes it ideal for street hedging.

A semi-evergreen if the winter is mild so you can be sure your privacy remains intact when the weather closes in. The glossy dark green leaves make the creamy white flowers stand out in the summer months which are a blessing to some and a stink to others. These go on to become small purple/black fruits that are readily eaten by birds and toxic to us which includes the foliage if ingested. Regularly pruned privet will not flower not produce fruits.

Left untouched, Oval Leaf Privet will grow to around 4.5m tall and wide with annual growth rates around 30-60cm.

Planting Oval Leaf Privet Hedging Ligustrum Ovalifolium
Considered to be coast tolerant which means it will tolerate being close to the sea and not get upset if you are not putting much into your life. Performs well in most soil conditions that are well draining.

Pruning Oval Leaf Privet Hedging Ligustrum Ovalifolium
This privet can be pruned hard at any time of the year and is often required if you are shaping it. The best time to prune will be between March and June to ensure it can put on new foliage in preparation for the Winter. If you prune after June, it can weaken the plant. Regularly pruned Oval Leaf Privet will not produce flowers or fruits.

How many Privet hedging trees do I need?
We recommend planting 6 plants per metre using the double staggered hedge method for a thicker hedge.

Delivery
Due to courier unpredictability, we advise having your trees delivered AT LEAST 3 days before you actually need them. 

Returning Cell Grown Trees
For Phytosanitary reasons, cell-grown trees cannot be returned to the nursery. 


Delaying Planting Cell Grown Trees
If you cannot plant straight away, take the trees out of the packaging and stand upright next to each other in a sheltered location outside. November to March, no need to water unless they start to dry out and these would be ok for up to 6 weeks. During Spring and Summer, you can do this for up to 3 weeks. 

Site Conditions And Evergreen Tree List
Our tree chart details which site conditions suit which trees and also which are evergreen or semi-evergreen.

Feeding Or Fertilizing Hedges
Any nitrogen based fertilizer will do such as 20:20:10 but the longer lasting ones which take 18/24 months are better as they are regulated by the weather and moisture therefore release slowly. 

Second line of hedging or staggered row 
We recommend planting the second line of trees 25cm or 10 inches away from the first if using the staggered hedging approach. Consider buying 10% more than you need and plant the spares elsewhere so you have immediate replacements for damaged or diseased trees.

Hedge Protection
For all hedging protection please view the Tree Extra section.

You would think that thorny plants would put rabbits off from eating them however this is not the case. They are happy to take the pain regardless of the cost (sounds like rabbits would be suited to marriage) 

Hedge Growth Rates
For information on rates of growth please click "Hedge Growth Rates"

Using Bark or wood chip mulch for hedging trees
Mice like to use this as a nest/home/holiday retreat and they eat the bark (especially Beech). Periodically check for damage below the mulch or bark layer. Alternatively use gravel or plastic sheeting as a method of keeping weeds.

Adding Fragrance And Colour To Your Hedge.
Honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum) is a very popular addition to any garden due to the strong fragrance, splash of colours and interest it generates from other wildlife. Click the link to find out more.

Coastal Planting
Trees suitable for coastal hedging include Aspen, Hawthorn, Holly, Juniper, Rowan, Whitebeam and Willows
.

Factors Detrimental To Cell Grown/Young Hedging Trees
Too much/little water, animal Urine, excessive wind exposure (will slow growth), salt spray, frost on new growth, herbicide drift and over application of fertilizer.

Hedge Tree Growing In The UK
We have instructed all our hedging trees that no non-UK holidays are allowed so that we can state they are all UK grown. 

Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Air and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. If the corner is of the house and a fence then you also have leeching issues to contend with from cement and wood preservatives. Also when it rains, that area would experience higher water levels so we advise against it unless the plant is very hardy.
