About Big Deal Green Privet Bare Root 80/100cm x 200 Delivery from November

Green Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium) Bare Root 80–100cm

Robust, Cost-Effective Hedging with Fast Growth and Dense Foliage

Green Privet is a time-tested favourite for hedging—valued for its fast growth, dense branching, and tolerance of a wide range of conditions. Supplied as bare root plants at 80–100cm, it offers a quick, budget-friendly way to establish a smart, leafy boundary hedge during the dormant season (November–March).

This semi-evergreen shrub retains most of its green oval leaves in all but the harshest winters, maintaining excellent privacy year-round. Left untrimmed, it can produce fragrant white flowers in summer, though it's usually grown for its neat, clipped form.
