Description

Don't be left waiting and wanting for an excellent hedge… Get sought-after privacy and screening right away with a ready grown and established Hornbeam hedge, to plant straight away!

Hedges are staple features of our gardens, adored by wildlife for food and shelter and softening the edges of displays, lawns, or borders. Now, you can get an immediate hedge with these established plants, grown and knitted together, stretching 1m long – just plant and feel impressed from day one.

Hornbeam, or Carpinus betulus, is a British native, and creates a fabulous habitat for wildlife. New green leaves erupt with deeply crinkled veins and ribbed edges from spring, before turning golden yellow in autumn. Green catkins emerge at the tail end of spring to add extra depth to the plant, before becoming autumnal winged fruits, perfect for feeding small garden mammals and birds.

Hornbeam hedges bring a rich and healthy shape to the garden for a longer period than many other hedgerows, so autumn leaves can be seen even when winter rolls around.

Deciduous, very hardy, and resilient, this variety is not picky and will thrive in most soil types, while shady and windy spots of the garden can also be tolerated.

Supplied as an established and ready to plant hedge, approximately 80-100cm high, 100cm long, and 20cm wide. Hornbeam hedges grow at a rough rate of 20-40cm per year.

Top Tips
Water well and thoroughly during the growing season, while an occasional light trim will help the foliage to knit together.
Care Information
  • On arrival, give the trough a good and thorough watering, before allowing it to drain.
  • Dig a trench that is approximately 10-15cm deeper and wider than the trough, adding organic fertiliser to the bottom of the trench before returning a layer of soil. Mix the fertiliser and soil thoroughly together.
  • Carefully remove the rootball from the trough. We find it easier to lay the plant on its side and gently break the roots free of the rootball.
  • Position in the trench so the top of the rootball is just below the surface soil, before backfilling with the soil removed. Firm down with your heel, before giving the hedge another good water.
  • If planting multiple troughs together, place each close together, allowing them to just about touch for an impressive, instant impact.
  • A generous layer of mulch can be added to discourage any weeds from emerging, while also helping to retain moisture at the roots.
