California Privet Hedge
Thick classic hedgeThere are hedges, and then there are HEDGES. If you are looking for a shrub that will grow quickly, fill in quickly, trim easily and look great the whole time you need to get the California Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium). Evergreen in all but the coldest winters, this shrub can quickly form into a thick hedge. Even where winters are cold it only drops its leaves. The great branch structure will still provide a barrier for you, both physically and visually. It can grow 15 feet high and wide if you let it, but it takes hard pruning without a problem and can be pruned multiple times a year to keep it in check if you want. If you do decide to let it grow, you will be rewarded with bountiful sprays of white flowers in the spring followed by an abundance of glossy black berries in the summer and fall. It becomes a haven for birds and butterflies. Don’t let that bare wall or unsightly view bother you anymore.
