Now my brand new privet hedge is sprouting
- just about 2-3 inch long branches - someone
told me I should be cutting them back on top?
Any advice would be appreciated. Roisin

Perry pruned a perfect privet
And so dense he could unzipper
With a driveway break he driv-it
Off to sharpen up his clipper
But the privet grew much higher
Perry's shaky arms would tire
Till no longer he could live-it
And he chewed it with a chipper
Now he has no privet see

Hey, that's cute, but speaking of pruning privets, I'll soon be digging
up a very long row of really big, unpruned ones with a backhoe. There's
a very large row of them, inexplicably, in the middle of the yard of my
new house. Why they ever got planted in that spot, is hard to say.

If anyone in the North-East Mississippi area would like a couple of big
eight foot burly privet bushes come fall, drop me an email.
