Hornbeam Hedging
- Loved by Garden Birds
A popular and classic semi-evergreen hedge recognised for its lush green summer foliage, which is brilliant for creating a dense screen for providing privacy and for creating an effective barrier against wind and noise
Our UK grown hedging plants are supplied as cell-grown saplings ready for immediate planting into their final positions. Cell-grown plants are known to have high establishment success rates with rapid early growth and are uniform and compact in size for quick and easy planting.
As a guide, use 5 plants per metre length. When planting, set out in a zig-zag style to encourage a thick and bushy hedge.
