Uploaded the video with better audio here: th-cam.com/video/h1v5jEwd_Fw/w-d-xo.html It's still not a good video and me just rambling, but at least you can hear it!
These are so invasive here that it is illegal to sell them in my state. Apparently they cause problems with the wildlife habitat here. They smell amazing when they bloom. Yours look great.
Glad you are finding my videos helpful. I know they aren't the best but I am learning. The Privets have proven to be very fast growing. Winter is almost over, so looking froward to some bigger progress!
Thanks for the updates! I ordered 20 from Burgess’s and there is no green at all yet. The “sticks” are still somewhat flexible... but it’s been abt 2 mnths with no growth
Sorry to hear that. From mine, they began to leaf in 2 days. 2 months in and no growth doesn't sound to good. I would recommend you do a very small scratch test on some of them at the bottom, if you see green they are still alive. Let me know!
Unfortunately that doesn't bode well, as I'm sure you've figured out. If they roots don't come out of dormancy in a couple months they likely never will. This can be a hit or miss proposition.
I did also.! 10 survived, 10 didn't. Ordered 10 more last yr., got them right in the ground, watered etc. I think Iv'e lost about 5. Not going to order anymore. I think at this point, I'll be digging up the live ones and repositioning them where the dead ones are.
Nice, im thinking of buying 5 gallon sizes that I want to plant against my rear fence. How much spacing did you use? 3' spacing. Would 5' spacing be okay against my fence?
It's taking a while for my hedge to connect at the bottom at 2' spacing. The recommended is 1'. So consider if complete filled in look is something important. 5' from the fence is good, Privets have a wide spread so you have full control of how close it gets in the future.
They are coming in nicely but not there yet since coming out of winter. Wanting to show everyone an update but at least with them in full bloom. Will be soon, hope to see ya there.
Your videos are the ones I want to listen to, but I can't hear them! I have turned up my volume to high and I cannot hear you. Every other video on TH-cam is perfect, but I really want to hear yours - anything else I can do to make it work? Am I the only one with this problems?
Hi Susan. I'm sorry you are having trouble. When I edit them, I usually make sure I can hear the audio at half volume in the youtube player. You are not the only person having this issue but I get mixed comments with some saying they hear without an issue. I apologize and will do more testing on my audio.
Unfortunately the first round was lost since I had to go back home to take care of my mother. I will be processing some new cuttings but it will take a few weeks before I would have results. Sorry I don't have anything just yet.
I just bought 17 3 gallon ligustrum shrubs to border the front area of my yard. Can I plant then about 3 to 4 feet apart? I want to keep them at about 6 feet max. Is that possible?
It is possible as they have a good spread about 4-5 feet out. However it will be very hard (or not possible even) if you plant them to far apart for the bottom to fully fill in. Mine are two feet apart and have noticeable gaps, which will take more trimming to encourage bottom fill.
Hey Jo, yes I got some to root but the technique was not so good :(. I will make a video soon on what some looked like when they rooted and the failure afterwards.
I can only *dream* of the results you have. I ordered 30, planted in early July (they said summer heat was OK) and now on Sept 12 we have only half showing signs of life - majority from sprouts coming up below the dead branches. Unfortunately, I threw away the silly shipping label (my wife did), and have no warranty claim. I suspect we would have been better off it the plants came sooner.. placed order in May and they didn't arrive until July. I am going to post a video a bit less rosy than yours.
I hate to hear that. That is the majority of the experience people in the past have had with them. Risked it only because of the cost. I planted some left over in the summer and they don't fair too well if they aren't watered daily (very slow progress). I'll be checking to see your video. Always good to share! Thanks.
@@rsxen8990 Yeah, I saw the reviews and was hesitant. I think in fairness there are no guarantees that bare roots will thrive. We did notice that many of the roots broke apart from the root stem, so the condition of these plans was questionable. That said.. I will likely order more to fill in the dead plants in the spring if the same variety of husky privets are available. It's cheap and beats $30 a plant for planting 1 gal pots!
@@boringhome Glad you are having a positive outlook on it! I would like to see what the Husky Privets look like. Same page here with cost considerations. Since you are willing to wait so long, you might want to grow your own from cuttings. I'll be doing a new experiment on this and it might be helpful if all goes well.
@@rsxen8990 I saw that..good luck. I've tried to propagate a unique variety of columnar poplar trees from cuttings, but no luck so far. I did get one to grow a root from one of the nodes but so far hasn't shown signs of life once planted in pot. We'll see. These privets might respond well. If so, I might try it too.
Privet (both small leafed and broad leafed) is considered one of the most invasive weeds here in Australia. Not to mention many people (including me) are extremely allergic to their pollen!
Yeah sorry about that. My editing sucks, I find some people have no issue and others do. I'm working on some presets to better record when spring comes around.
Nope, just plenty of water at the start. Are they a lot taller at least? Sometimes (like mine did), they'll want to stretch (taller over wider). So you will have to cut the tops a little to encourage them to fill in. This is what I am having to do with mine since they got way taller before getting any good thickness!
I have been planting many of them every year, for the last three years, but many of them fail. Can you advise or provide me with tips how to grow them successfully
Nice.. the ones i have are farther apart than that.. I wasnt sure how far to put them and I have three in the area of my backyard where i want the hedge to go.
Pretty much any softwood would will grow from "cuttings", it's the process of using root hormone, or even honey sometimes to induce the growth of new roots. If you see a bush you like, cut this years growth off, prep, dip in hormone and plant cover and wait a couple months. Procreation. Asking before cutting is recommended. Ha ha
The hedge is looking good! You should make some topiary trees from the cuttings. They would look beautiful. I just bought 2 of them and they're pretty pricey. I'm gonna try taking cuttings from them to make more. Thanks for sharing.
That would be a great idea. Should be plenty of cuttings to give it a try. Thank you for the compliment and I'll give it a try on with the next round of cuttings. Keep us updated if you do. Hope to see you on the next one!
Yes, however your species of privet may do even better if directly into soil. Just make sure you cut below a "node" (point where you see leaves branching out). I was hoping to have results on this, but had to attend to my sick mother during this time. I'm hoping to try this again for everyone to see.
did you put the branches in water or soil at the end of your video? you said to leave them in their for a few weeks (hence me unsure whether it is in water). what to look for/ next steps after a few weeks?
Hi Charolette. Yes they are just in water, out of direct sunlight. Some will begin to have roots, when the roots are an inch or so they are ready to go in soil. I was planning to do a test of different ways but my mother got sick during this time so I wasn't home to monitor them. The water method is the easiest no cost method, but rooting hormone will help a lot.
Would you say they are twice as big now compared to when you planted them? Tree roots copy how their branches grow, so if Yes, they are ready to be untied.
Hi Alex. In a year mine were well over 5ft tall and that was with no watering after the 2 week planting. Privets need very little water so I don't have a drip system.
HI Myka. You can plant them up to 4 feet apart with most species of privet. The further apart they are the longer it takes for them to connect to fill into a hedge. Mine were planted 2 feet apart to save a little money. If you don't mind waiting longer it will be fine, they'll grow tall pretty fast too!
Hey Paul. If you want the privet to fill the gaps between, you have to trim the top. Most plants will prioritize growing tall and then wide. I'm not after a +8ft tall hedge, they will grow taller before they would fill in. Thanks for the question!
Wow that hedge is looking nice. How are they being watered ? I have a few that I am watering with drip irrigation but they are not looking too good. I have 2 one gallon emmiters running for about an hour and 20 minutes every 5 days. Im in california and the temperature usually stays under 90 degrees but very little if any rain. Any suggestions? Am i no watering long enough or enough days?
Hey Jose. These are not being watered at all anymore. Privets are typically drought resistant so watering often isn't necessary. Are they recently planted? Would you happen to know the name of the privets you have?
@@JoseLopez-wx1xi Great you have the name! So as they are recently planted, you should be watering them everyday for 3-4 weeks for about 15-20 minutes. After that you will rarely have to water them and can go back to 5 day routine. The species you have is also the slower growing, so no need to worry if you don't see as big progress as mine. It's also a real evergreen, so you'll have a wonderful hedge all year!
Def not a pro, sounded good on mine when reviewed and processed. Have since tried a few different setups and hopefully better from here on out. Thanks for stopping by though!
HI. These were planted 2 feet (24 inches) apart. This was done to save some money as the recommended is 1 foot to speed up "hedge building". Thanks for stopping by!
@@rsxen8990 is there a specific season? Do i just cut and stick it into soil or does it need any nutrients? Also i think these are the same ones i have in my yard but i have heard they are semi evergreen but the ones i have dont lose their leaves. Is it because it gets cold during the winter here in central valey ca? Mine tend to turn purple during the cold season. Sorry for all the questions but it seems there are way too many variations of privets to find accurate information
Hey sorry for the late reply. All privets are extremely hardy, so you don't have to worry about doing something damaging. There is no specific season but spring and fall are typically the best times if you wish to do minimal care. Yes you would cut them near a leaving node (the area were leaves are sprouting) and you could place them in soil. Of course a soil made for seed starting is best and so would adding rooting hormone to the cut area (very cheap) would get you results faster. Semi-evergreen privets can sometimes keep their leaves if the winter isn't too cold and would have the leaves discolor. They may also be an evergreen species so nothing to worry about either way. Hope that can answer some of your questions and thank you for sharing your experience.
Hi Paul. Privets can grow up to 12 feet tall. This is against policy in many cities, some only let you have 6-8 feet. Trimming also encourages them to fill in faster. I appreciate the question, we are all learning together.
What type of privet are you planting? The extension service here in Pueblo, Colorado, zone 5, sells the New Mexico privet - Forestiera neomexicana- which is drought hardy. We are zone five, -10° in winter and over 2-3 months of +95° in the summer (VERY sun intense). Wondering if you are familiar with this type of privet and any information you may have on it.
These are Ligustrum amurense. Privets are very hardy, 5-9 zones, so no issues there for you. Looking at the Forestiera neomexicana, it looks like it leans to wanting to grow more like a tree, very wide and tall, so best to stay on-top of your trimming (but could be said for any plant). Might need a little (and I mean little) extra water if you aren't going to mulch for those +95° days.
After all is said and done would you still recommend bare root plantings? Also what zone are you in? I am looking to redo northside of property here in MN and I'm leaning towards Cheyenne Privet. Nice job by the way !😁
Yes I had zero issues with bare-root planting and only had one die. You just have to make sure they are watered enough everyday for at least 2 weeks. I'm in zone 7-7a. I see the Cheyenne is just like my amur privets 4-7. Do you live in the upper or lower part of MN? If you're in the upper part, they might not survive the cold.
Yes, you are correct. This is just a test to see what will happen. Privets are very resistant so hopefully that is true here. It is recommended to trim in Spring and Fall, lets see how it goes. Thanks for stopping by!!

In swedish they are called Spirea and they are invasive. Liguster on the other hand is a nice evergreen hedge bush. This looks like Spirea
Thats crazy. I'm in central PA and the previous tenants killed them with wild grape, oak trees and a crappy palette fence that feel on them.
