Ligustrum ovalifolium Hedging (Rootballed)
Green Privet Hedging
A reliable, fast-growing hedging plant with dense green foliage, ideal for creating neat boundaries and effective privacy screening.
Ligustrum ovalifolium, commonly known as Green Privet or Oval-Leaved Privet, is a traditional and highly versatile hedging plant. Its dense, oval green foliage responds extremely well to regular clipping, making it particularly suitable for creating smart, well-defined hedges.
Privet is often described as semi-evergreen. In sheltered conditions it can retain much of its foliage through winter, although some leaf loss should be expected during colder weather or on more exposed sites.
Why Choose Ligustrum ovalifolium?
Fast growing and quick to establish
Dense foliage provides effective screening
Often retains foliage through much of the winter
Responds extremely well to regular trimming
Excellent for neat, formal hedging
Suitable for a wide range of garden styles
Tolerant of urban conditions

Why Buy Rootballed Ligustrum ovalifolium?
Rootballed Ligustrum ovalifolium is field-grown and lifted during the dormant season with soil retained around its root system.
This provides an economical way to establish larger plants and is particularly useful for longer hedge runs and projects where greater initial height and more immediate screening are required.
Available Sizes
Rootballed Green Privet is available in a range of heights, subject to seasonal nursery availability.
Larger specimens provide greater immediate screening, while smaller plants can offer a more economical solution for longer hedge runs.
How Many Plants Do I Need?
Plant spacing depends upon the size selected and how quickly you want your hedge to develop into a dense, continuous screen.
Our hedging guide will help you calculate the appropriate number of plants for the length of your proposed hedge.

Important – Rootballed Plants Are Seasonal

Delivery, Access & Planting

Root balled hedging is one of the quickest ways to create privacy, structure and definition within a garden. Larger, established plants can provide an immediate sense of enclosure while reducing the time needed for a new hedge to develop into an effective screen. Because root balled hedging can be substantial in both size and weight, careful consideration should be given to delivery access, handling and the route from the delivery point to the final planting position.
Both root balled and bare rooted hedging is covered in this guide.
