Sorry we have sold out this season - the new season starts in the Autumn - we do have lots of potted plants available all year round - just take a look in our shop for options!
This is for our bare root Hawthorn (Crataegus Monogyna)
Hawthorn is a delightful plant which forms the basis of most Native
British Hedging. Delicate scented white and pale pink flowers from April to
June give way to hawthorn berries or haws in the Autumn, that the birds love to
eat. Small green summer leaves turn vibrant reds oranges and yellows adding
beautiful colour to your hedge in Autumn.
Hawthorn also makes a beautiful small stand-alone tree and can grow
to about 4m tall.
Hawthorn is fast growing and forms a hedge with lots of tiny twigs
and branches which provide support to other trees and plants in the hedge, and makes
a super natural habitat for birds, insects and small mammals. It is also thorny
so is always included in security hedging.
We recommend that you trim your hawthorn once a year in Autumn
after the birds have finished nesting. For use in
hedging, we recommend 5 plants per metre on its own or mixed with other
hedgerow plants in a double zig-zag row for a thick hedge. You can get away
with 3-4 per metre in a staggered row if you don’t mind waiting an extra year
or two to form a thick hedge.
All you need to do is choose how many plants you need the plant height now you want to start with!

For best results plant with Rootgrow gel – it increases the growth
rate by up to 50% and really helps the plants establish.
Keep them well watered – especially in the Spring and Summer in the
first year of planting.

suit your garden please just contact or call us and we will be happy to offer

Many
apologies but due to a change in the DEFRA plant health regulations following
Brexit we cannot ship plants to Northern Ireland – we are working on this and
hope a solution is found soon!
