Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

An improvement on the common Ligustrum ovalifolium, ‘Green Diamond’ is a vigorous cultivar developed by Dutch breeders that is very branching, dense and compact. Evergreen to semi-evergreen in very cold winters, Ligustrum ovalifolium ‘Green Diamond’ sports lustrous, bright green foliage. It is perfect for pollution tolerant hedging, growing successfully in sun or shade. Fragrant white flowers are produced in July and August followed by shiny black berries that are appreciated by the birds, although regular trimming will inhibit flowering and fruiting. Height and spread: 3m (9.8ft).

Grow Privet in any well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. Plants will tolerate a wide range of soils, from sand to chalk and clay, and areas of pollution. Keep well watered during the first two years whilst the tree is becoming established and maintain a 1m diameter circle around the tree free of grass and weeds.

Trim in May and again in August. After pruning, mulch plants in borders with 5cm (2”) of well-rotted compost or manure around the base of the plants and apply a slow-release fertiliser as per the manufacturer's instructions. Caution: harmful if eaten.
