Growing Oval-Leaved Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium)
- Popular, fast-growing semi-evergreen shrub ideal for dense, formal or informal hedging – provides year-round privacy and screening.
- Highly tolerant of urban pollution, shade, coastal conditions, and most soils (except waterlogged).
- Produces creamy-white summer flowers (attractive to bees) and black berries (food for birds like thrushes and blackbirds); offers nesting sites.
- Responds excellently to regular clipping; low-maintenance once established; RHS Award of Garden Merit.
- Drought-tolerant and resilient; suitable for boundaries, topiary, or windbreaks.
- Best time: Bare-root November–March (dormant season); container-grown anytime, ideally autumn/spring.
- Location: Full sun to deep shade; any moist but well-drained soil (tolerates poor, clay, chalk, or sandy); sheltered or exposed sites.
- Preparation: Dig hole twice root width; add organic matter to poor soils; for hedges, space 30–45cm apart (single row) or staggered double row for density.
- Planting: Set at original depth (check soil mark on stem); firm in, water thoroughly, mulch base (keep clear of trunk) to control weeds.
- Aftercare: Water well first year in dry spells; trim hedges 2–3 times during growing season (cease late summer); minimal feeding needed.
- Note: All parts toxic if ingested.
