Why Choose Hornbeam Hedging?

• Dense privacy screen: Bright green serrated leaves create an effective barrier for privacy and wind protection
• Year-round interest: Retains attractive brown leaves throughout winter, providing structure when other hedges are bare
• Classic British hedge: Smooth grey bark develops with maturity, adding architectural beauty to your garden
• Hardy and reliable: Thrives in most soil types and tolerates exposed positions
• Wildlife friendly: Provides shelter and nesting sites for British birds and beneficial insects

Planting & Care

Plant during dormancy (November to April) for best establishment. Space plants 30-40cm apart for a dense hedge. Water well after planting and mulch to retain moisture. Trim annually in late summer to maintain shape and encourage dense growth.

Each bundle contains 25 plants at 60-80cm height – enough to create approximately 7.5-10 metres of hedging at recommended spacing.
