Northern Privet grows fast!

The first 2 photos are of Northern Privet I planted 14 months ago. The newer plants were planted 2 months ago. TN Nursery has been very helpful along the way. I have planted nearly 100 bare root privets. Approximately 6 of them failed to grow. TN Nursery gave me a credit to have them replaced without hassle. I’m very happy with both the privets and the people at TN Nursery.
