Instant Hedge

Instant Hedge

Instant hedge has a root system grown in a trough or in the ground in a root strip. Instant hedge is grown by planting younger hedging grade plants closely in a row. As the hedge matures on the nursery the plants nit together forming a dense weave of branches. With regular pruning on the nursery the plants form a squared off formal hedge shape we are all familiar with.

Instant hedge troughs or root strips can be planted end to end forming any length hedge required.

Hedging Elements are a single plant grown in a container, Air pot or in the ground and lifted as a rootbal. The plant is grown from a young sapling to form this shape. Regular pruning creates a dense rectangle shaped foliage. When planted next to each other with the foliage toughing hedging elements create a dense formal hedge from the day its planted. With heights available up to 8m+ hedging elements are the prefect option for instant privacy.

Potential

Due to its ability to regrow from pruning/trimming, hornbeam hedges can be shaped easily and even made into topiary shapes.

Annual Trimming

Always make a final trim of hornbeam instant hedge in September which will help leaf retention during the winter, just like copper beech.

Characteristics

Hornbeam hedges are horse friendly and can therefore be used in paddocks for the containment of livestock.
