Why Choose Bareroot Hawthorn Hedging?

Bareroot Hawthorn hedging is an excellent value choice for establishing native hedgerows and countryside boundaries. Supplied during the dormant season without soil, bare root Hawthorn plants are lightweight, easy to handle, and significantly cheaper than pot grown alternatives, making them ideal for large planting schemes. Bareroot Hawthorn hedging establishes well when planted between November and March.

Planting and Care Guide for Bareroot Hawthorn

Plant your bareroot Hawthorn hedging as soon as possible after delivery. For a stock-proof agricultural hedge, plant at 30 centimetre spacings in a single or double staggered row. Soak the roots before planting, ensure they are not exposed to drying winds, and firm each plant in well. Keep the area weed-free during the first two growing seasons and water during prolonged dry spells. Bareroot Hawthorn is one of the toughest native hedging plants and thrives in exposed, windy sites where many other species struggle.

Ideal Uses for Bareroot Hawthorn Hedging

Bareroot Hawthorn hedging is the traditional choice for field boundaries, rural hedgerows, and wildlife corridors. Its thorny branches create an impenetrable barrier that deters livestock and intruders, while providing vital food and shelter for birds, insects, and small mammals. Bareroot Hawthorn hedging is widely used in conservation projects, rewilding schemes, and native planting across the UK and Northern Ireland.
