Common Privet (Ligustrum vulgare) is generally considered evergreen in Ireland. However, its evergreen nature can vary depending on factors such as local climate conditions, exposure to wind, and the severity of winters. In milder coastal regions and sheltered areas, Common Privet tends to retain its foliage throughout the year, providing greenery and privacy to gardens. However, in colder inland regions or during particularly harsh winters, it may lose some or all of its leaves temporarily. Overall, Common Privet is commonly used for evergreen hedging in Ireland due to its dense growth habit and tolerance of various growing conditions.
