Supplied here as bare root plants at 80–100cm — a well-established size suited to rapid establishment — in bulk packs of 1,000. Ideal for trade buyers, fencing contractors, farmers, developers, and local authorities requiring large-volume, cost-effective native hedging direct from the nursery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowth Habit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHawthorn is a vigorous, thorny, deciduous shrub that forms an exceptionally dense, stock-proof hedge over time. It responds strongly to hard cutting and establishes quickly, even on difficult sites. Left unclipped it produces abundant white blossom in spring and bright red berries (haws) in autumn — both of high ornamental and ecological value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Site Suitability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most site-tolerant native species available, Hawthorn thrives across a wide range of soil types including heavy clay, loam, chalk, and thin soils. It tolerates exposed, windy, and elevated sites well and performs reliably across all regions of the UK. Suitable for full sun to partial shade and is highly drought-tolerant once established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWildlife \u0026amp; Ecological Value\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHawthorn is among the most ecologically valuable hedging species in the UK. Its dense, thorny structure provides secure nesting habitat for a wide range of farmland and garden birds, including yellowhammers, linnets, and sparrows. Spring blossom supports bees, hoverflies, and other pollinators, while the autumn haws are a critical food source for thrushes, fieldfares, redwings, and small mammals. An essential species for biodiversity net gain (BNG) and agri-environment planting schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting Guidance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant bare root stock between November and March while fully dormant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended spacing: 3–5 plants per metre for a stock-proof hedge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for single or double-row planting on field boundaries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTolerates most soils; improve drainage on heavy waterlogged ground before planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater well at planting and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut back hard after the first season to promote bushy basal growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from treesandplantsuk?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Hawthorn bare root stock is grown and harvested at our UK nursery and despatched during the bare root season (November–March) to ensure plants arrive dormant and in prime condition.
