Default Bonfire resistant hedge

Privet or Laurel
Definitely not Conifers ,.........the dead centre sections would go up like
an inferno

Most of the more vigorous and tougher hedge plants should have
little trouble, but don't go for anything sensitive. Privet is
as good as anything for that.


Or anything that will burn well even when it is still alive. My vote is

for privet too.
