Ligustrum ovalifolium
Choose California Privet when you need a quick, clipped privacy hedge on a budget. The tradeoff is upkeep: it grows fast, so plan on regular pruning and some winter leaf drop in colder New England spots.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B | It makes a clean green wall quickly, but it is more functional than showy. |
| Growth Rate | A | It fills in fast, which helps privacy but also adds pruning work. |
| Maintenance | C+ | It handles hard trimming well, but a tidy hedge needs regular cuts. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | C | It can be kept tighter with pruning, but it is not the best fit for very narrow beds. |
| Screening Value | A- | It creates dense warm-season privacy, with some thinning possible during colder winters. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend California Privet for customers who care more about fast coverage than a no-prune planting. Start training it early; waiting too long makes the first cleanup harder.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
