If you have privet on your property, you may be wondering if you should remove it. Here are some things to consider:
Privet is an evergreen shrub that can grow up to 15 feet tall. It is often used as a hedge or privacy screen.
Privet is relatively easy to care for and is tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions. However, it does require regular pruning to keep it looking tidy.
Privet can be invasive, especially in areas where it is not native. It can crowd out other plants and disrupt natural ecosystems. If you live in an area where privet is not native, removing it may be the best option.
Before making a decision, weigh the pros and cons of keeping or removing privet from your property.
