In early spring, the bare stems are covered in masses of small white flowers that provide vital early nectar and pollen for bees and other pollinating insects. By autumn, the hedge produces dark purple sloe berries that are loved by birds and can be used for making sloe gin. As a native species, it supports hundreds of wildlife species including moth and butterfly caterpillars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative British species, excellent for wildlife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDense thorny structure provides security and nesting sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly spring white blossom for pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark purple sloe berries in autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports moths, butterflies, birds, and mammals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardy and adaptable to most UK soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for traditional hedgerows and boundaries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant 3-5 per metre for hedging.
