With several species and cultivars to choose from, you can find the ideal variety to suit your landscape style and conditions.

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.

This green windbreak is also used as garden shade cloth and reduces light levels and windspeeds by 50%. Therefore, 50% of the wind or light will still pass through. This premium, knitted cloth is made from HDPE Monofilament to ensure is does not rip. The cloth has been UV stabilised for NZ conditions and comes with a ten-year UV warranty. The standard colour is green but different colours are available on request. Be sure to order the Shade/Windbreak clips to lock the cloth to support wires. This item comes in a 3.66 m wide roll that is 50 m long.
