50 x Blackthorn Based 40/60cm Bare Roots - Discounted Pack Bare Root Hedging

Bare Root Hedging

The hedging species that make up these mixed native hedging packs are ideal for fields and gardens, providing year round interest and a diverse habitat for wildlife. By planting this type of hedging you can help to preserve the heritage of the British countryside and halt the decline of our native hedgerows, ensuring our native wildlife has an ideal and familiar environment in which to thrive. This hedging mix is also more tolerant of exposed locations and is therefore the better option when considering mixed native hedging as opposed to the hawthorn based mix.Bare root packs are available from November to mid/late May, using cold stored plants towards the very end of the season.Our recommended mix for bare root native hedging is 50% Blackthorn for heavy soils and inland/coastal exposed locations with 10% each of Wild Cherry, Field Maple, Dog Rose, Hazel and 10% Hawthorn. 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.
