End of privet edged and pruned (7)
I believe the answer is:
trimmed
'pruned' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'end of privet edged' is the wordplay.
'end of' says to take the final letters.
'edged' becomes 'rimmed'.
The last letter of 'privet' is 't'.
't'+'rimmed'='TRIMMED'
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for trimmed that I've seen before include "Decorated" , "Pruned" , "cut down to size" , "Modified views" , "Rebuked once" .)
