Hi Lorraine,
Do you know the botanical name of the privet hedge?  If it's what we call privet
here in Mississippi I could send you a load of them for postage.

Hi Lorraine,

   Privets are pretty tough, so you shouldn't have any problems with
   them unless shipping is REALLY bad.  

   They're also pretty quick-growing, so short plants won't matter.  I'm
   hoping that you're looking for a short shearable hedge -- if they're
   going to be tall, go with something prettier like a Meyer lilac
   or viburnums!

Chris
