Native Hedge Plants

Choosing the right native hedge

For a traditional country boundary, hawthorn is a reliable choice, with spring blossom, autumn berries and dense, thorny growth. Common beech hedging creates a more formal appearance and often retains its copper-coloured leaves through winter when regularly trimmed.

For naturalistic planting, consider hazel hedging, with its early catkins and autumn nuts, or spindle for its colourful autumn foliage and distinctive fruits.

Planting bare root hedging

Bare root hedge plants are a practical and economical choice when planting in quantity. Supplied without pots while dormant, they are generally planted between November and March, provided the ground is not frozen or waterlogged.

Before ordering, measure your planting area and check the recommended spacing for your chosen species. Keep roots moist before planting and water regularly during establishment, particularly through the first growing seasons.
