Hawthorn creates a classic British hedgerow with masses of nectar-rich white flowers in spring that signal warmer, longer days. By autumn, the hedge produces bright red haw berries rich in antioxidants, providing essential food for migrating birds such as redwings, fieldfares, and thrushes, as well as small mammals. The dense, thorny foliage makes fantastic nesting shelter for many bird species. The included spiral guards and canes protect young plants from wildlife damage and provide support during establishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 bare root Hawthorn plants, 60-90cm tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 spiral tree guards for wildlife protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 support canes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eValue to Wildlife\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon hawthorn can support hundreds of other species.
