One of the most popular hedge plants in Germany.
Thanks to its very good cut tolerance, it is also very suitable for particularly low and / or narrow hedges.
It makes hardly any demands on the location; it can still form very beautiful hedges even in shady locations.
A growth of over 100cm per year is not uncommon.
The privet vulgare "Atrovirens" is a selection from the local privet vulgare, so it can also be used as a hedge plant in new development areas in which, according to the development plan, only native trees can be used.
