Native mix hedges are one of the most beautiful hedges that can be created. Native hedges are and can be successfully planted in fields, paddocks and gardens all across the United Kingdom. These hedges are made by planting together, side by side mixtures of native fruiting and flowering plants. These hedges provide valuable food and protection to our native birds and a hidden world of small creatures and wildlife. As well as being beneficial to our wildlife, for us humans as spring arrives, the native hedge bursts into life creating truly beautiful hedges with visual interest right through to the end of autumn. Producing flowers, catkins, seeds, fruits and nuts.

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.
