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.

Elaeagnus x ebbingei 'Gilt Edge' Hedge Plants Description
Gilt Edge has beautifully fragrant creamy white flowers in autumn. It is quite fast growing at approx 30-45cm p.a. and should be trimmed to shape in spring. This is a very tough evergreen hedging plant and it performs best in partial shade or sun. It is happy in dry soil, seaside gardens and exposed sites. Combine Oleaster 'Gilt Edge' with an abundance of evergreen plants, as well as other flowering hedging or hedging with berries for an impressive garden feature, full of seasonal characteristics.
With the bright yellow edging to it's leaves, Oleaster 'Gilt Edge' is a variagated version of the fully green leafed Oleaster, not to be confused with the other main variagated variety of Oleaster 'Limelight', whose leaves have a yellow centre and green edge. Like all varieties of Oleaster, Gilt Edge is great for planting in exposed sites. For other hedge varieties with colour in their leaves, see our colourful hedging department.
