First Post - Wilkommen bei Privet Land!



This blog is about privet hedge..ligustrum ovalifolium, or ligustrum sinense or ligustrum you-name-it-um. Why? It's just a cool plant.

  2. hey andy - back at my last house on parkwood, a tiny sprout arose beneath my son's sliding board. when i took the swingset down, ashley would not let me pull the thing up. i staked it and put protective wire around it. it grew and grew and i trimmed it and pruned it and it grew even more. now, that yard as a nearly twenty foot privet tree in it, providing shade and a home for birds and squirrels and such. now, at our new home, we have privet hedges flanking our house and a row of privets dividing us from the evil developers next door. we are privetites! - ken
