Bare Root Green Beech Hedging: 40-60cm

Description

Green beech (Fagus sylvatica) is one of the most popular native hedging plants in the UK. Fresh green leaves in spring and summer turn copper and bronze through autumn and winter. Beech holds those dried leaves through the colder months, so you keep screening all year.

These plants are bare root, 40-60cm and A+ grade. They grow in most well-drained soils, including clay and loam, in full sun to partial shade. Plant 3 to 5 per metre in a single row, or stagger a double row for thicker cover.
