as, Amur River Privet will look pretty the year round.

HEDGES 
The hedge is more than its own excuse for being; it justifies 
its existence in various ways. Around the small yard of a 
cottage or the formal terrace of a city home, the Amur Privet 
or Arborvitae can be trimmed and kept in scale with the size 
of the lawn. If there is an ill-kept lot adjoining, or the sun 
room is near the street, then let your Amur hedge grow rankly 
A hedge may serve to shield from view the chicken yard or 
the family wash, or suggest to the children that the playhouse 
yard must end where a neighbor’s lawn begins.
