“Michigan’s Greatest Nursery” 
LIGUSTRUM—PRIVET 
It is as a hedge plant that Privet is preeminent. It is more largely used than all other hedging 
plants together. Privet hedge can be kept at any height, low or tall, and a regular shearing 
will preserve a perfectly even surface. 
A single row of plants will make a good hedge; a fuller and more compact one can be made 
by planting two rows zig-zag with the plants at apexes of say 9-inch triangles. When set out 
the plants should be cut back to a few inches. The next spring they can be cut back to 6 or 8 
inches. This repeated will form a dense and widely branching growth. In severe winters the 
tops kill back in this latitude but soon recover.

hardy. Valuable for hedges or borders as it stands shearing to any extent. 10 feet.
