Our suggested mix

The point of choose-your-own is so that you can create a mix of the plants that you love most, but if you would like a suggestion for an affordable, lovely mix, here is what we would do:

33.3% | Crataegus monogyna - Hawthorn
33.3% | Acer campestre - Field Maple
33.3% | Carpinus betulus - Hornbeam

Site

This is a wind hardy hedge that will grow in most soils including some heavy soils, but not waterlogged.

Spacing

We recommend planting this hedge at a minimum of 3 plants per meter in a staggered row (6 per meter maximum ) with 6" to 9’’ between the rows.

Planting

For best results we recommend planting the varieties in groups that repeat themselves down through the hedge; e.g. Hawthorn, Field Maple, Hornbeam, Hawthorn, Field Maple, Hornbeam, etc.

Pruning

When first planted, a good prune will encourage good bushy growth. How hard you cut the plants depends on how low down you want them to bush from, but anywhere from 6’’ to 1ft is usually good.

Ongoing cutting should be carried out in late Winter to early Spring. If possible, avoid cutting during the nesting season between early March and the end of August.

Care

Keeping any young hedge weed and grass free is vital to the overall vigour and health of the hedge. Using weed membrane keeps back weeds and insulates the roots and will greatly increase growth rates, as well as cutting down on your weeding work. Mulching is another great option for insulating the roots and holding back weeds, Bark mulch is the most common used medium.

Hawthorn, Whitethorn, or ‘Sceach gheal’ in Irish, it goes under many names and is one of our most important native hedgerow species. It makes a fantastic neat deciduous hedge as it clips well but can also be left to grow. Crataegus monogyna is easily recognisable in the month of May when its thorny branches are smothered in white flowers; the Autumn brings an abundance of its famous red haws which can be used to make jam or delicious Hawthorn jelly. A very important species that supports lots of wildlife. Hawthorn can often be found near holy wells and it is famous in Irish lore as the Fairy Tree - it is considered unlucky to cut an old one down. It will grow in most soils and will take wind and coastal exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSite: \u003c\/b\u003eWill tolerate inland and coastal exposure\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e Any reasonable soil other than very wet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition: \u003c\/b\u003eFull sun or partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeason of Interest:\u003c\/b\u003e Blossom in Spring, berries in Autumn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness: \u003c\/b\u003eFully hardy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 13-26ft (4-8m) \u003cb\u003eSpread:\u003c\/b\u003e 13-26ft (4-8m)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n","published_at":"2021-02-14T20:13:22+00:00","created_at":"2017-11-29T16:52:19+00:00","vendor":"Future Forests","type":"Trees","tags":["Bareroot","coastal hedging","Coastal trees","native","Native trees","thorny hedging"],"price":100,"price_min":100,"price_max":2400,"available":false,"price_varies":true,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":40280171905058,"title":"Bareroot | 1ft \/ Not provided \/ Certified Irish seed","option1":"Bareroot | 1ft","option2":"Not provided","option3":"Certified Irish seed","sku":"010166","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Crataegus monogyna -
