Overview

Known for their beautiful cloudy plumes of snow-white flowers in early spring, blackthorns characterise the spring landscape. Later in the year, rich, inky-black fruits appear along with the sloe pickers, gathering harvests for the delicious, syrupy tincture ó sloe gin! Our bare root hedging range is a very low cost way of planting a hedge and are only available to buy and plant when dormant (November- early April). This hedging pack, with known seed provenance, is grown in rich Herefordshire soil to give them the best possible start in life and will be raring to go by the time they reach you. Our plants are 1 year old (1+0) which means they have been grown for 1 year in the seed bed. The plants are lifted and graded at between 40-60cm tall - a good size to plant hedges to encourage successful establishment.

Care guide

For best results, plant these bareroot plants out as soon as they arrive into well prepared soil. Keep well watered until well established, and trim in milder periods throughout the winter.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Bare root plants are either wrapped in plastic bags or waxed paper where possible and then placed into a cardboard box.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
