Straight from the grower
Straight from the grower
We have been growing our plants with great passion since 1976. We are therefore proud that the third generation is now at the helm of our family business. All plants and trees we supply come either directly from our own nursery or from fellow nurseries that work in partnership with Heijnen. Through our close cooperation with various skilled growers, plant importers and other professionals, we guarantee products that are as fresh and high quality as possible. What this means for you is healthy and beautiful plants and trees straight from the nursery at competitive prices.

Root type
Root type

A plant or tree can be delivered in a pot, with a root ball or with bare roots.

  • Pot: the advantage of plants grown in pots is that they can be planted all year round, with the exception of periods of frost. After planting, both the root system and the visible, above-ground parts of the plant/tree will continue to grow immediately, provided temperatures are high enough.
  • Root ball: plants and trees with (wired) root balls can be planted roughly between October and April, depending on the weather. During these months, the plants are dormant and at their least vulnerable, which is ideal for planting. Because the plants are freshly uprooted (dug up) at the growers, the root system may be somewhat damaged. Once planted, the plant/tree will first form new roots and will then continue to grow above ground.
  • Bare roots: plants and trees delivered with bare roots can be planted roughly between October and April, depending on the weather. During these months, the plants are dormant and at their least vulnerable, which is ideal for planting. Because the plants are freshly uprooted (dug up) at the growers, the root system may be somewhat damaged. Once planted, the plant/tree will first form new roots and will then continue to grow above ground. Because there is no sand on the roots, the plants are lightweight and therefore easy to carry.

Height at time of delivery (cm)

'Height without root ball' refers to the measurement of a plant or tree where the height is measured without taking into account the underlying root ball of roots and soil normally present when the plant is moved. When measuring height without root ball, only the visible part of the plant above ground, such as the trunk/stem, branches and leaves, is taken into account, while the root ball that is normally below ground is excluded from the measurement.

Height at time of delivery (cm)
Width at time of delivery (cm)
Width at time of delivery (cm)

Our plants can be ordered in different sizes. By width on delivery (cm), we mean the approximate width of the plant in centimetres when we deliver it to you.

The number of centimetres indicated refers to the widest part of the plant. It may not be as wide in other places, since it is a natural product and does not have standard dimensions.

Positioning
Positioning

By positioning, we mean the number of hours of sunlight at the spot where the plants are to be placed. There are three categories for this, namely:

  • Sun - more than 4 hours of sun per day
  • Partial shade - up to 4 hours of sun per day
  • Shade - less than 2 hours of sun per day

The type of soil is of minor importance in most cases, unless otherwise stated for the product.

Application
Application

By 'application' we mean how the planting can be used in the garden. In this, we distinguish between the possible applications below:

Border: also called a bed, this is a strip of ground (part of the garden) intended for planting. Due to the construction of paths, terraces and lawn, a garden often consists of multiple borders:

  • Group planting: plants that are at their best when placed together in small or large groups and can be easily combined with other garden plants if desired.
  • Edge planting: mostly low-growing plants that are suitable for use at the edge of borders and so provide a nice progression from low to tall plants.
  • Underplanting: mostly shade-loving plants that can be planted under large shrubs and trees.

Solitary: a plant (usually a larger shrub) that does best when planted alone and not with several of the same variety together. A solitary plant is a real eye-catcher and also provides 'body' to the garden. You place a solitary plant in a border in combination with (relatively) low-growing plants, for example.

Pot: a plant that grows well in a pot.

Planter: plants that are perfect for use in planters.

Hedge: plants that grow particularly tall and branch nicely through pruning. This makes them ideal for use as a natural screen (hedge). We offer hedge plants for both low and tall hedges.

Pergola: plants that are ideal for planting and growing against a pergola.

Fence: plants that can be grown against a fence or placed in front of a fence.

Wall: plants that can be grown against a wall or placed in front of a wall.

Trellis: plants that can be grown in a trellis to create more greenery and privacy in the garden.

Slope: plants that are ideal for planting on a slope.

The Ligustrum vulgare 'Atrovirens' hedge is a popular choice for creating a lush, green boundary in any garden.

  • Characteristics

Ideal placement of a Ligustrum 'Atrovirens'

Ligustrum vulgare 'Atrovirens' hedge thrives in various conditions, making it a versatile choice for gardens. It grows well in both sun and shade, adapting to different light levels. The ideal spot offers protection from strong winds, ensuring the hedge remains sturdy. Well-drained soil is crucial, as it prevents waterlogging, which can harm the roots. This hedge plant benefits from nutrient-rich soil, promoting healthy growth and vibrant leaves. Suitable for all soil types, it prefers good drainage to maintain its health. Whether planted as a tall hedge or a solitary plant, it adds structure and privacy to any garden. Choosing the right location is essential for the Ligustrum atrovirens to flourish, resulting in a robust and attractive hedge. Proper placement enhances its growth, leading to a lush and resilient hedge plant.

Planting a Ligustrum 'Atrovirens'

When planting the Ligustrum vulgare 'Atrovirens' hedge, proper soil preparation is essential for successful establishment. Soil preparation involves loosening the soil to improve water drainage and mixing in organic materials such as compost. This process ensures that the Ligustrum vulgare 'Atrovirens' hedge receives adequate nutrients and water. Proper soil preparation is crucial before planting, as it lays the foundation for healthy growth. Pot-grown plants can be planted year-round, except during periods of frost. Plants with a jute sack around the root ball should be planted with the sack left intact. After planting, it is important to water the plants regularly until they are well-rooted. The size of the plant at planting determines the number of plants required per square metre. Planting instructions should be followed carefully to ensure the successful growth of the Ligustrum vulgare 'Atrovirens' hedge.

Pruning a Ligustrum 'Atrovirens'

Pruning a Ligustrum vulgare 'Atrovirens' hedge is important to keep it healthy and looking good. Regular trimming helps the hedge stay dense and neat. It also encourages new growth, making the hedge fuller. The best time to prune this hedge is in late spring or early summer. Pruning twice a year is usually enough. Use sharp tools like hedge shears or a pruning saw for clean cuts. Good tools make the job easier and help avoid damage to the plant. For the best results, trim the hedge in a way that the top is narrower than the base. This shape allows sunlight to reach all parts of the hedge, promoting even growth. Regular care ensures the Ligustrum vulgare 'Atrovirens' hedge remains a beautiful part of the garden.

Watering a Ligustrum 'Atrovirens'

The Ligustrum vulgare 'Atrovirens' hedge has a normal water requirement. It is best to water this hedge plant deeply rather than giving small amounts daily. This ensures the roots receive enough moisture. Watering is most effective in the early morning or late afternoon to reduce evaporation. During dry, sunny periods, check the soil to see if the plant needs water. The soil should be moist but not waterlogged. Ensure excess water can drain away, whether the hedge is in the ground or a pot. If using drip irrigation, it works best once the plant is fully rooted. Initially, additional watering is needed when planting. The Ligustrum atrovirens is not highly drought-resistant, so regular watering is important to maintain its health and appearance as a tall hedge or part of hedging plants.

Fertilising a Ligustrum 'Atrovirens'

Fertilising the Ligustrum vulgare 'Atrovirens' hedge is essential for its growth and health. Regular feeding helps the hedge plant grow tall and strong, ensuring vibrant leaves and a dense structure. Using organic fertiliser is crucial as it prevents root and leaf burn, which can occur with chemical fertilisers. The Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer from Heijnen are recommended for these hedging plants. Fertilise twice a year, once in spring and again in summer, to keep the Ligustrum atrovirens healthy. The amount of fertiliser depends on the size of the hedge plant, so adjust accordingly. Nutrients are absorbed when rain or watering helps them reach the roots. In dry periods, water the garden after fertilising to activate the nutrients in the soil, ensuring the Ligustrum vulgare atrovirens hedge thrives.

The characteristics of a Ligustrum 'Atrovirens'

Ligustrum vulgare 'Atrovirens' is a popular choice for creating a dense hedge. This hedge plant is known for its evergreen leaves, which provide year-round privacy. It is a fast-growing option, making it ideal for those looking to establish a tall hedge quickly. Additionally, it is tolerant of various soil types and can thrive in both sunny and shaded areas.

All plants and trees we supply come either directly from our own nursery or from fellow nurseries that work in partnership with Heijnen. Through our close cooperation with various skilled growers, plant importers and other professionals, we guarantee products that are as fresh and high quality as possible. What this means for you is healthy and beautiful plants and trees straight from the nursery at competitive prices.
