I plan to take down some privet trees this fall, and I think I’m going to need some herbicide to succeed. Here are a bunch of resources I found on privet control and, specifically, recommendations for “cut-and-treat.”

Bees on the sweet-smelling Privet blossoms. 🥰

I haven't freaked out about a bee landing on me, in years. I think that having the Epi-pen handy has led to greater confidence around bees, and the greater confidence has led to fewer stings. Win-win!🌸

Fell the poker limbs
Geometric entwives
take their place

plant lots of privet
for a privacy pivot
it’s your life, live it

One privet tree this morning showing its color. It is wonderful. #privet

Dear Friends of Superbum,

Yesterday came across several of these #London #superhero Excelsum #Superbum #street #trees.

They are in #black #berry at the #moment, #variegated and will have #fragrant white #flowers. I identified them as #privet but never #remember seeing them as young trees.

Lovely jubbly!

I was planning to collect some #privet for wool #dying today, but even after the first frost the berries are still slightly green. By the end of the month, these will be purple-black and ready to harvest.
