Last March we planted a new bear root privet hedge bought 90cm tall
because we need it to provide screening fast. Only very few of the
plants produced leaves on the existing growth.Most of them shot new
growth from the roots, which now is only 30cm high. I need this
hedge to grow as fast as possible. I don't know why the plants
didn't grow properly and whether it is worth re-planting a new
hedge. The plants were not deep planted and the depth of planting,
the soil and fertiliser were identical. Any suggestions? any
similar experiences?

A bear root hedge needs lots of honey.

I hope she meant bare-root g.

Just grin and bare it.
