If you’re looking for an economical and eco-friendly way to establish a hedge or tree, bare rooted hedging is a fantastic choice. It not only helps create a lush, natural border but also supports wildlife in your garden.

Bare rooted hedging offers numerous benefits:

  • Affordable: Bundles are more cost-effective than container-grown plants, especially for long hedges.
  • Wildlife-Friendly: Native species attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. They provide food (berries, hips, nuts) and shelter for birds, hedgehogs, and field mice.
  • Practical and Productive: Blackthorn serves as a natural security hedge, while hawthorn and other plants provide berries for wildlife and your own seasonal crafts like sloe gin and wreaths.
  • Low Maintenance: Deciduous hedges filter wind and require minimal upkeep, thriving even with occasional missed prunings.

Our bare rooted hedges establish quickly and are available in a variety of options, from single plants to bundles of 100. With 13 species to choose from, it’s easy to find the perfect match for your garden’s needs.
