Overview

Our bare root hedging range is a very low cost way of planting a hedge. These plants are only available to buy and plant when dormant (November- early April). These plants, with known seed provenance, are grown in rich Herefordshire soil to give them the best possible start in life so they are 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 60-80cm tall, which is a good size to plant hedges at to get good establishment. Smothered in long-lasting, double white blossom in mid-spring with the new leaves, the wild cherry makes a fabulous hedging plant. The leaves are dark green and turn rich, vibrant red in autumn and are accompanied by small reddish fruit. It is a particularly versatile variety that will tolerate most soils.

Care guide

Plant immediately upon receipt for best results into a well cultivated area. Trim the hedge over winter, but prior to mid-February, to avoid the bird nesting season. Apply a 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the base of the plants in early spring.

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.
