Ficus, Podocarpus & Eugenia: Hedge Prices and Sizes
The best-value privacy hedge is the one that fits your space, your budget and how soon you need it to fill in. A low price per plant is useful, but the supplied height, foliage, quantity, delivery and planting work all affect the finished project.
This guide compares selected One Plant Shop listings checked on November 10, 2026. Prices and listed sizes are a dated reference, not a fixed quote. Follow each product link for current options and prices before ordering.
Compare the listed sizes and plant prices
Heights are approximate supplied ranges, not mature heights or guaranteed measurements. Container labels do not describe exact fullness. Plants vary with season and pruning.
| Plant | Container | Listed height | Price each |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ficus Nitida | 5 gallon | 2–3 ft | $17.99 |
| Ficus Nitida | 15 gallon | 5–6 ft | $42.00 |
| Podocarpus gracilior | 5 gallon | 2–3 ft | $21.99 |
| Podocarpus gracilior | 15 gallon | 4–5 ft | $45.99 |
| Eugenia | 5 gallon | 2–3 ft | $22.00 |
| Eugenia | 15 gallon | 4–5 ft | $59.00 |
The same container size does not make two plants equivalent. For example, these 15-gallon Ficus listings show a different approximate height range from the 15-gallon Podocarpus and Eugenia listings. Compare the actual option, not just the gallon label.
What would 25 plants cost?
Using the prices above, 25 five-gallon Ficus plants would total $449.75 for plant material. Twenty-five five-gallon Podocarpus would total $549.75, and 25 five-gallon Eugenia would total $550.00.
For the listed 15-gallon options, the same count would be $1,050.00 for Ficus, $1,149.75 for Podocarpus or $1,475.00 for Eugenia. These are arithmetic examples, not bundle discounts or a recommendation to plant 25 at every site. Delivery, tax, installation and any site preparation are additional.
Choose the look and maintenance plan
- Ficus Nitida: glossy green foliage for a clipped boundary. It can become a large tree, so consider roots, nearby paving, structures and regular pruning.
- Podocarpus gracilior: finer foliage for a softer-looking screen. It also needs room to grow and a pruning plan when maintained as a hedge.
- Eugenia: a leafy backdrop suited to a shaped hedge or garden boundary. The listing uses the general Eugenia name; confirm any project-specific plant requirements before ordering.
Smaller plants or more initial height?
Smaller containers can reduce the initial plant budget when you have time for growth. Larger options offer more starting height, but height alone does not create a solid screen. Ask about current fullness if immediate screening matters. Existing product photos are representative and may show a different size from your selection.
Measure the hedge run and planting-bed width before choosing a quantity. Spacing should account for the supplied plant width, desired hedge size and room for maintenance. A universal spacing recommendation can lead to overcrowding or gaps; send measurements if you need help planning.
Build the complete project budget
Keep four items separate: plants, delivery, installation and site preparation. Check the delivery charge before payment. Our delivery policy currently estimates 2–10 business days after payment, depending on availability and route scheduling. A specific agreed date for your order takes priority.
We serve delivery routes across Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Ventura and Riverside. Confirm your address and any timing requirements before ordering. For planting help, send your ZIP code, measurements and access details through our installation inquiry guide.
Your next step
Browse privacy hedges, select a size, and compare the current plant total. For a larger project, send your plant list and desired finish so we can help you clarify the order. Good value comes from matching the plants and scope to your site from the start.
