The best and most successful hedges contain several species which flower and fruit at differing times to provide year-round appeal and benefit for wildlife – this collection does just that and is all about providing food, shelter and nesting sites

It needs to be THICK to provide cover and safe nesting places, FLOWERY for pollinators to forage amongst from early in the year and FRUITY for hungry birds and mammals as autumn turns to winter.

Our UK grown hedging plants are supplied as cell-grown saplings ready for immediate planting into their final positions. Cell-grown plants are known to have high establishment success rates with rapid early growth and are uniform and compact in size for quick and easy planting.

This collection will cover 10m in length based on a planting density of 5 plants per metre. When planting, mix the varieties well and plant in a zig-zag style to encourage a thick and bushy hedge.

This collection contains 5 plants each of:
  • Oak
  • Blackthorn
  • Wild Pear
  • Dog Rose
  • Dog Wood
  • Wayfaring Tree
  • Hazel
  • Holly
  • and 10 plants of Hawthorn
  • Planting a hedge offers huge benefits to gardens of all shapes and sizes – Sarah’s top 5 reasons.
  • They look spectacular with varying leaf shapes, flowers, and fruits
  • Great for providing food, shelter, and nesting sites for wildlife
  • An excellent natural shelter from strong winds
  • Brilliant for helping with carbon capture, flood control and soil erosion
  • Cheaper and far more sustainable than erecting a fence

On occasion we may need to send you an alternative variety to the one shown, which will be selected by our growing team to ensure its suitability. It will be of equal or greater value to the original. Please contact our customer service team if there are any problems.
