Privet

Privet is a dense, fast-growing shrub commonly used for hedging, screening, and defining property lines. Its uniform green foliage and upright branching habit make it a strong structural plant in both formal and informal landscapes. When maintained as a hedge, it creates a clean, manicured look, while untrimmed forms can provide a softer, naturalized presence. Some varieties produce small white flowers followed by dark berries, adding subtle seasonal interest and wildlife value.
