North Privet

This semi-evergreen shrub is America's fasting growing deciduous hedge, growing up to three feet per year. The shrub's dense, dark, glossy green foliage makes it an excellent choice for hedges and privacy screens. For a formal appearance, the Privet tolerates shearing well. And when you grow it as a hedge, shearing it early and often helps it develop thick layers of branches for year-round privacy. Expect small white flowers in summertime that are attractive to butterflies. The North Privet can grow to 8'-12' with a spread of 6'-8'. (Zones 4-8)

The benefits of bare-root trees

Our trees are delivered with natural bare roots which have been dipped in hydrating gel prior to shipment to keep the roots moist and healthy. As their abundant, fibrous roots aren't confined by a container, bare-root trees get off to a more vigorous start compared to containerized roots which typically need more time to adjust to transplanting. Bare-root trees typically surpass the size of larger containerized trees in only a few years.
