Privet is a fast-growing shrub that tolerates a wide range of conditions. Vigorous and rebounding quickly after heavy pruning, it is frequently used as hedging. Its fruit is toxic if ingested, and the sap may cause skin irritation.
Consider the native Aronia spp., Ilex glabra or Viburnum lentago for alternatives.
