Native Farm Hedging Mix – Bare Root 40–60cm, Bulk Pack of 1,000

Establish a traditional countryside boundary with this native farm hedging mix, supplied as 1,000 bare-root plants at approximately 40–60 cm. Combining hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) and blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) with other native hedgerow species, this bulk pack is a practical choice for trade buyers, farmers and landscape contractors planting field margins, restoring hedgerows or creating substantial garden boundaries.

Why Choose a Mixed Native Hedge?

• Countryside character: a varied native mix creates a natural-looking boundary rather than a uniform single-species hedge.
• Wildlife interest: blossom and fruits offer seasonal feeding opportunities, while established growth provides shelter.
• Seasonal variety: changing foliage, flowers and autumn fruits bring texture and interest to the landscape.
• Bulk supply: 1,000 bare-root plants provide a useful starting quantity for larger farm and landscaping projects.

What Is Supplied?

One bulk pack of 1,000 native farm hedging plants, supplied bare root at approximately 40–60cm. This is the supplied height, not the mature height of the hedge. Plants vary naturally in shape and size.

The mix includes hawthorn and blackthorn alongside other native species. Confirm the complete species list and proportions with treesandplantsuk before ordering, particularly where a planting plan requires an exact composition. No fixed species percentages are stated here.

Growth Habit

This deciduous hedging mix develops a branching framework with fresh spring foliage and seasonal blossom and fruits. Mature dimensions and density depend on the species composition, soil, growing conditions and pruning regime. Formative pruning and continued management help build a well-branched boundary suited to its location.

Soil and Site Suitability

Choose a sunny or partially shaded position with moisture-retentive, freely draining soil. Prepare the planting strip thoroughly, remove competing grass and weeds, and address compaction before planting. For persistently waterlogged ground or particularly exposed locations, confirm the suitability of the full species mix before purchase.

Wildlife and Ecological Value

Native mixed hedgerows can link habitats along field edges and provide cover within larger gardens. Hawthorn and blackthorn blossom offers forage for pollinating insects, while haws and sloes provide seasonal food for birds and other wildlife. As the hedge establishes, its branching growth creates shelter and potential nesting sites.

Planting and Establishment

Plant bare-root hedging during the dormant season when soil conditions allow. Avoid planting into frozen or waterlogged ground, and keep roots moist and protected from drying winds until they are in the soil.

• Clear the planting strip of competing vegetation and prepare sufficient space for the roots.
• Set each plant at its original nursery soil level, spreading the roots naturally.
• Firm gently and water thoroughly after planting.
• Choose spacing and single- or double-row arrangements to match your intended hedge density and project specification.
• Keep the base weed-free and maintain moisture during dry spells through the first growing seasons.
• Use appropriate protection where rabbits, deer or livestock could damage young plants.

The length of hedge covered by this 1,000-plant pack depends on your chosen spacing and row arrangement; confirm these before calculating quantities.

Planning a Stewardship Hedgerow?

Before ordering for a stewardship project, check the confirmed species composition, proportions, plant specification and planting density against your agreement requirements. The product name alone does not establish eligibility for BN7, BN11 or any other scheme.
