Plant description

Slender, tightly wrapped, cigar-like buds casually discard their flaky, papery sheaths to reveal emerging tender, silken leaves, which initially unfurl a pinkish purple before slowly starting to age and darken. Soft, hair like protrusions line the outermost edges of the leaves, and in time these hedging plants are smothered in gorgeous plum-toned foliage. Majestic!

Care guide

Plant immediately upon arrival into a well-cultivated area. After the summer growth spurt, deciduous hedges, like beech and hornbeam, need to be pruned before the leaves change colour and fall. September is the best month to do this. Apply a 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the base of the plants in early spring.
