Beech Bare Root Hedging Package Deal

Fagus sylvatica is a classic British hedging plant prized for its elegant form, rich seasonal colour, and distinctive winter foliage retention. This complete package includes 25 bare root plants (60-90cm tall), 25 spiral tree guards, and 25 canes. Available from the end of October to April during the optimal bare root planting season.

Why Choose This Package?

This complete hedging package provides everything you need to establish a classic Beech hedge. Beech creates a handsome formal hedge noted for its rich yellow or orange autumn colour. Although not evergreen, beech retains its old brown leaves in winter, providing additional interest and screening throughout the year. In autumn, beech nuts (sometimes referred to as 'mast') are produced, which can attract squirrels and add seasonal interest. The dense foliage provides excellent shelter from wind and weather, offering a safe haven for birds and small mammals. The included spiral guards and canes protect young plants from wildlife damage and provide support during establishment.
