Pruning Advice
Common Privet is a resilient hedging plant that can handle frequent pruning to help its growth stay well-maintained. For a dense Common Privet hedge, we recommend pruning it twice a year, in early summer and again in winter during its dormancy.
During the summer pruning, focus on shaping the hedge to promote dense growth and enhance its aesthetic appeal.
A harder prune later in the year can help it maintain its structure over the winter months and means you’re less likely to disturb any nesting birds in the spring. Privet is quite forgiving and can handle severe pruning if necessary, which can be beneficial for rejuvenating older or overgrown hedges.
