    Hi, can anyone help me identify what this hedge is? See 2 pics.

    Looks like a box hedge, but is yellow and I can't seem to find yellow box hedges online.

        From looking on the internet golden privets leaves look like this with yellow on the outside and green inside, but the one I'm after has solid yellow leaves

        From your photos it is a Golden Private though its looking in poor condition with all those brown patches, which suggest some problem, plus the areas where the leaves are green is called reversion, where the its going back to its original green, and thye should be cut out.

        We have a golden private hedge similar in size to the one you show and from a few meters away it looks quiet bright yellow, though on inspection the center of each leave is pale green.
        The amount of green depended on the particular plants you buy, some seem greener than others, though not sure if growing conditions affect this.

        Do not know of any hedge that size thats a pure yellow, if thats what you are after, or smaller ?
