Product Code:  LIVU4
New crop available Autumn 2012.

From Only: £11.15 Ex VAT
Or £2.79 Per Plant


This RHS Premium Cell Grown Common Privet (Ligustrum Vulgare) hedge comes with the benefits of container grown plants but the price is nearer the bare root price. The plants come with their root systems intact, whereas bare root plants can lose the tiny fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that they will become more established quicker than bare root. They can also be planted into warm soils when roots are active, outside the dormant period. Whereas the bare root season ends between April to September, September, October, March April and May are ideal months for planting cell grown plants. In fact, unlike bare root, you can plant cell grown plants throughout the year as long as the roots are kept moist. That is why 60% of the world’s forestry trees are now cell grown!

Complete Product Information for Common Privet (Ligustrum Vulgare) Pack of 4 Cell Grown 20-50cms
Ligustrum vulgare or Wild Privet is sometimes known as the common or European Privet. It is the only native privet, common in hedgerows and woodlands in England and Wales. This fast growing, semi-evergreen hedge has medium sized leaves, with clusters of creamy-white flowers in July, attractive to insects. Shade tolerant. An asset to wildlife with the flowers in July and long bunches of shining black fruits in winter, attractive to birds. In cold winters it will lose its leaves.

The stems are stiff, with grey-brown bark spotted with small brown lenticels. The flowers are produced in mid summer. The flowers produce a strong, sweet fragrance. The fruit is a small glossy black berry 6–8 mm diameter, containing one to four seeds. The berries are poisonous to humans but readily eaten by thrushes, which disperse the seeds in their droppings.

This was a very popular hedge in Elizabethan gardens, but after the introduction of the Japanese Ligustrum ovalifolium (Oval-leaved Privet) to Britain.
