You'll see our recommended planting densities for each size and root type listed in the product grid. We suggest that you use these as a guide, taking into consideration how long you're willing to wait to see your finished hedge. As a rough indication bare roots can be planted at anything from 3 to 7 per metre and cell grown between 4 and 6 - the higher densities here would need to be planted in a double staggered row or zig-zag.
For more information on planting distances please see our planting density advice section.

For Hazel to flourish and maintain its striking appearance, we recommend brutting (breaking) side shoots halfway along their length in August, followed by shortening the bruited shoots to 3-4 buds when the catkins are shedding pollen in late winter.
If your Hazel is still young and filling out, you might want to consider skipping pruning for a few years to let it establish itself firmly.
Hazel is quite forgiving and can handle a hard prune if it’s grown a bit unruly. Typically, you can cut back up to one-third of old overcrowded shoots to the main branches to encourage denser growth.

Choose Hazel Hedge root types
What are root types?Root types explained.
-
Bare root
Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
-
Pot grown
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
-
Root ball
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
-
Instant
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hedging troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
