What should I know about taking care of a weeping privet?

Answer by  Liz59 (10966)

Snip it from time to time diagonally from the branches. Also use nutrient rich soil for the cultivation. Be aware of the timing because it is crucial. Follow in bi-weekly patterns.

Weeping privet can grow quite large for a shrub, up to 8 feet so make sure you plant it where it has plenty of room. It needs to be pruned properly to keep its shape. If you try to prune it to fit a small space it will neither look good nor grow well.

It's important to note that they can grow very large, so even if it's small right now don't put it into a space where it won't have room to spread.

You should go to your local library and check out some books on it then as you start taking care of it you will have the books right there and you can use them as a guide so you know you are doing it correctly.

Well, just make sure that you snip it on a biweekly basis. That way you will have good growth and see nice texture.
