Blackthorn Bare Root Hedging — Trade Pack x500

Plant a thriving native security hedge from the ground up with Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) bare root whips at 40–60 cm. This whip grade offers the best value entry point for large-scale Blackthorn planting schemes, establishing vigorously and quickly across a wide range of UK soils — including chalk, clay, and exposed rural sites where establishment conditions can be challenging.

Blackthorn is one of Britain's most ecologically valuable native hedging species. It produces a breathtaking display of white blossom in early spring before the leaves emerge, and yields sloe berries in autumn that provide vital food for birds, insects, and small mammals. Dense, thorny, and virtually impenetrable once established — it's the natural choice for stock-proof boundaries, field margins, and wildlife corridors.
