Hornbeam native semi-evergreen hedge plants bare root hedging good for damp soil

Product Description

Now available for immediate dispatch!

This is for top quality, certified and fully plant passported bare root Hornbeam (Carpinus Betulus)

Hornbeam is a wonderful choice for a stand-alone tree, single species hedge or as part of a native hedge mix. Hornbeam has large zesty lime green leaves in the early spring which become darker green as the seasons move on turning brown in Autumn.

Hornbeam keeps its leaves on the plant over winter and we refer to it as semi-evergreen for this reason. Because of this, Hornbeam is a great plant for privacy and screening.  It is non thorny and wildlife friendly – providing excellent habitat for birds and insects.

Hornbeam will grow up to 30cm per year and can be trimmed into a nice tight hedge – we recommend you trim once a year in Autumn to keep the foliage dense.

All you need to do is simply choose the height of the plants you want to plant now and the number of plants you need.

We recommend 5 plants per metre in a double zig-zag row for a thick hedge, but you can get away with 3-4 per metre in a staggered row if you don’t mind waiting an extra year or two to form a thick hedge.

·           Semi – evergreen

·           Leaves turn brown in Autumn but will remain until Spring

·           For any Soil Type – easy to grow

·           Good for damp and Coastal areas

·           Full sun to partial shade

·           Hardy and Low Maintenance

·           Trim once a year in Autumn

·           Wildlife friendly  

For best results plant with Rootgrow gel – it increases the growth rate by up to 50% and really helps the plants establish.

Keep them well watered – especially in the Spring and Summer in the first year of planting.

If you are not sure how many plants you need or which varieties suit your garden please just contact or call us and we will be happy to offer friendly advice!

Many apologies but due to a change in the DEFRA plant health regulations following Brexit we cannot ship plants to Northern Ireland – we are working on this and hope a solution is found soon!
