Bare Root Hazel Hedging: 2-3ft

Description

Hazel (Corylus avellana) is a good choice for a mixed hedge and as an understorey woodland tree. It feeds wildlife: squirrels and mice eat the nuts, and the leaves are food for many moth caterpillars. Coppiced hazel gives shelter to ground-nesting birds such as the nightjar and nightingale, and hazel is linked with the dormouse, which relies on the nuts before hibernation.

The hazel nuts are edible. Coppiced hazel wood can also be used for bean poles, pea sticks, hurdles and furniture.
