Privet is widely used as a tough, versatile and hardy hedge. Regarded as evergreen to semi evergreen, this depends on the ferocity of the winter and the planting position. In a very cold winter they will loose some or even all of the foliage, however the same hedgerow in a sheltered spot may retain foliage.
