Beech hedging becomes a beautiful, bright green hedge in spring/summer and then in autumn/winter, it retains its medium sized leaves but they turn dry and copper coloured so it has two distinctly different appearances depending on the season. Beech hedging plants are classy when cut to a formal shape but it can also be used as a semi-evergreen component in a mixed native hedge. It will grow to 5m (or perhaps even more) but because it’s just medium growth rate, it can be easily kept as a relatively low hedge – 1m upwards. It is a species that is really only suitable for free-draining soil – if your soil is wet/heavy clay, you should consider Hornbeam instead which has a very similar appearance but is better suited to wetter soils. Grows 30-60cm per year. Plants supplied 40cm+ high in 2 litre pots.Potted Plants are a more developed plant as their root systems are not disturbed during the lifting and planting process. They can be planted year round and if necessary can be left in their pots for several weeks before planting if you are unsure as to when you will be able to get round to doing the work; all they need is a little water to keep them happy. As more mature plants you dont need quite as many per metre as the bare root plants (normally 3 to 5 would suffice depending on how dense you require your hedge and how quickly you need it to look established). Pots are a great way to create a new hedge effect more quickly.

The Hornbeam hedging plant is a very popular native species with very similar characteristics to Beech – in that it retains many of its leaves in winter (not quite as good as Beech) but they go coppery coloured (a bit less coppery than Beech – more of a brown/grey) – but this species has more deeply veined and pointed leaves and is very well suited to wetter soils. It’s a popular species to add in to native mixed hedging to give it some semi-evergreen quality and also very good as a single species hedge in a garden setting. Grows 20-40cm per year. Supplied in 2 litre pots.Potted Plants are a more developed plant as their root systems are not disturbed during the lifting and planting process.

The most common hedging plant of the Laurels is Cherry Laurel and it’s not the country’s biggest selling hedge plant species without good reason! Cherry Laurel is a fast growing hedge (without being a bully), with large, glossy bright green leaves, is fully evergreen, very easy to grow and easy to maintain. Laurel is suitable for hedging from 1.5m up to 5m so we have it at all heights from 30cm up to over 2m. It’s one of the few evergreen species that can handle being grown as a bare root plant so that’s a very economic way to establish a new hedge. Flowers mid May-October producing white flowers. Grows 30-60cm per year. Supplied in 2 litre pots.

They are grown in an open environment, exposed to natural conditions, which allows these plants to develop with no restrictions. When opting for this root type, you will receive well established plants with sturdy root systems as a result of their growing method. Given the way in which they are grown, bare rooted plants are available from November until May as this is the time of year when the plants are dormant and can be safely lifted from the field. This category mostly consists of native, deciduous hedging species which many of them flower and/or berry so they make great hedges for wildlife and provide seasonal interest.

The Privet hedge plant is probably one of the most common and most popular fast growing hedging species and it’s particularly well suited to urban areas and gardens because it’s so good at pollution absorption. Privet is a semi evergreen rather than a full evergreen so in cold winters or exposed situations it will lose some of its leaves and look a bit thinner, but it will retain leaves and a green appearance all year round and looks particularly good in spring and summer when the new leaves flush out. Privet has creamy white flowers but it’s not known as a flowering hedging species and generally the flowers are just trimmed off when the hedge is clipped. This species is very easy to trim with shears or electric hedge trimmers and has small leaves so looks very neat when just trimmed. It will grow up to 4m but is very easily kept neat at 1.0m upwards. Flowers mid May-mid July producing white flowers. Available in packs of 25-50 bare roots and grows 30-60cm per year.Pollution tolerantFast GrowingBare Root hedging plants are a great, cost-effective way for you to achieve your hedging goals.
