Planting a Beech hedge
Prices shown are the price per plant, other than the discounted packs of 250, 500 and 1000. Planting distance is very much a matter of choice. For bare roots, 3 plants per metre is adequate, 5 is good, 7 plants in a double staggered row makes a dense hedge quicker. Smaller plants are generally planted at higher density than tall plants. Pot grown plants have recommended densities shown (which vary by pot size) but you can increase or reduce this density dependent on your level of patience. Cell grown should be planted at 4 per metre in a single row, or ideally 6 per metre in a staggered row. Root ball Beech is normally planted at 2-3 per metre in a single row. Beech hedging spacing

Pruning Advice
Once established, prune your Beech hedge once a year in late summer, around August time, so that it can keep its new foliage through autumn and winter. This means it’ll continue to provide a beautiful boundary screen year-round.
While Beech can tolerate hard pruning, it's typically not always needed unless your hedge is extremely overgrown and in need of a reshape. This should be done in late winter when Beech hedge plants are dormant.
