Hardy Amoor River Privet Hedge 
PLANTING AND GROWING HEDGES 
Beautiful hedges are easily grown if a few simple 
instructions are observed. Dig a trench 10 to 12 inches 
deep and the width of a spade. Set the plants a 
couple of inches deeper than they stood in the nursery. 
This insures a dense hedge at the base. Privet should 
be set 10 inches apart, Barberry about 18 inches. 
Shrubs such as Spirea 18 inches, Chinese Elm 2 feet, 
and Evergreens 2 to 3 feet. Spacing may be varied 
depending upon the density desired. After spacing 
plants, fill in about one-half of the depth of the 
trench, then flood with water. After settling fill in 
balance of the trench and tramp firmly. Leave a slight 
depression along each side of the hedge to retain 
water. Keep thoroughly soaked until well started. 
Privet should be cut back to about 8 to 10 inches 
after planting to promote vigorous growth. Hedges 
planted in this manner rarely fail to grow.
