Bare roots (shown at the top of this listing) are available from November to early April. Cell grown and pot grown (both shown lower down) are available all year round.
Our recommended mix for bare root native hedging is 50% Hawthorn or Blackthorn (choose Blackthorn for heavy soils or coastal/windy positions and Hawthorn for all others) with 10% each of Bird Cherry or Wild Cherry, Field Maple, Dog Rose, Hazel (pictured left to right above) and either Hawthorn or Blackthorn (the opposite to the main component). These species have been selected to provide a long period of interest for humans (in flower, berries, leaf colour, leaf shape) as well as varying wildlife foods and shelter.
Below the bare root packs you will find cell grown mixed native packs which are available all year round. The species mix is very similar. For packs of 100, the base is 40% Hawthorn or Blackthorn, and then the balance is 12% each of Blackthorn or Hawthorn (whichever is not the base) and Hazel, Field Maple, Bird Cherry and Dog Rose. For packs of 250 and 500, the mix is 50% Hawthorn or Blackthorn and 10% each of all the others. Cell grown plants can be used at any time of year other than in very hot dry weather.
At the bottom of the listing are the pot grown pallet deals of pot grown mixed native hedging which again is available all year round. The mix of species is a bit different to the bare root packs (40% either Hawthorn or Blackthorn, 20% Hornbeam, and 10% each of Field Maple, Hazel, Dog Rose and either Blackthorn or Hawthorn (whichever is not the base of the mix).
Whether it's bare roots, pot grown or cell grown, you can add species to the standard mix, or swap species, or change the proportions. We're happy to accommodate your own "pick and mix" selections which in previous years has been very popular with customers looking for 100% flowering hedges, or high security prickly hedging or an economy mix. You can either select your own species (choose from the Bare Root listing, the cell grown listing or the species listings and if your order comes to over £250 it will automatically be discounted. We can sometimes increase the automatic discount particularly on larger orders so feel free to call us on 01257 263873.
Planting distances are very much a matter of choice - for bare roots, 3 plants per metre is adequate, 5 is good, 7 in a double staggered row will give a dense hedge quicker. Generally, smaller plants should be planted at higher density. Cell grown normal planting density is 4 in a single row or 6 in a double row. For pot grown, the ideal is 5 in a double staggered row but 4 or even 3 is adequate - so a pallet deal of 75 plants will do between 15 and 25 metres.
