Privet trees in parks and along streets
The first photo shows a line of privet trees on the left
in the Plaza de Oriente (between the Royal Palace - Royal
Palace Photos - and Opera - Opera
Photos). You can see some other privet trees in the Plaza
de España in the second photo. (Plaza
de España Photos) The third photo is a shot of the same
group of trees as in the second. The fourth photo was taken
in the park below the Castles of Alcorcón. (Lago
de Polvoranca Photos).
Privet Tree
The first Privet tree is in the Plaza de Oriente. The second
one is in the park under the Castles of Alcorcón. The
third one is on the northwest corner of the Glorieta de Bilbao.
(Metro Bilbao) You'll rarely see them as tall as this one
in Madrid. You can see a big difference between the first
and the third trees due to the first tree's being helped by
pruning.
Privet flowers
The Privet tree flowers in July (early summer or late spring),
which is just right for most summer tourists.
Privet leaves
|
The Privet tree's leaves have just one point and smooth
edges. |

is a bit older than the one on the right (the one above in the
park just under the Castles in Alcorcón).
