Liguster

Privet is an absolute classic among hedging shrubs. Whether you are planning a strictly trimmed green wall or prefer a free-growing arrangement, this undemanding shrub will not disappoint you. It is extremely adaptable, tolerates shade and polluted urban air well, and often keeps most of its leaves during milder winters. Besides growing quickly and tolerating pruning perfectly, it brings a lot of life to the garden. It is a honey-bearing woody plant whose flowers attract bees and other pollinators. In autumn, dark berries appear; while they are not edible for humans, they provide valuable food for birds during the cold months.
