common privet
Common privet is a popular evergreen shrub prized by New Zealand gardeners for its versatility, resilience, and classic hedge appearance. Fast-growing and easy to shape, common privet provides dense, glossy foliage that creates effective privacy screens and windbreaks, ideal for suburban, rural, or lifestyle blocks. With its ability to cope well with trimming, pollution, and a range of soil types, it’s no wonder that privet continues to feature in traditional and modern gardens.
Ligustrum Rotundifolium (Ligustrum japonicum)
Ligustrum japonicum Rotundifolium, commonly known as Japanese Privet, grows as a small, compact, rounded bush and carries glossy, dark green leaves which have a unique curl. Clusters of cream-coloured flowers are borne in summer and are a lovely feature as it grows to 1.5 m tall and 1 m wide. Ligustrum Rotundifolium is often clipped into hedge, added to a mixed planting, maintained in a container, or used to provide architectural interest.
Prunus yedoensis
Prunus yedoensis, commonly known as the Yoshino cherry, is celebrated for its profuse white blossoms in early spring. This deciduous tree grows to approximately 5 metres tall with a broad, spreading canopy. It thrives best in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating frost and cooler climates common in New Zealand. The elegant floral display and graceful form make it a popular choice for gardens and parks.
