View full detailsBare root hedging is only available from November to March and if you want the best picks, they come from the first diggings in November, so it pays to order up front and reserve early - plus we always offer an extra incentive for advanced orders.
If you want to collect from our nursery , you must order through this website and wait for a call to confirm availability Bare root is a great option to do large hedges on a budget. Full Guide Here You will have a few issues with establishing bare root plants if you do not read up on our advice page and even if you do it will still mean a few failures. Of particular concern is beech (fagus). Order an extra 20-30% because you will lose some and they are cheap enough to make it worth a go. Don't gamble and leave it after the end of March unless it's buxus (box), which have so much root you could almost do them all year. If you can't be bothered reading our advice page at least do yourself the favour of a couple of basics, and that's, whatever height they come as, cut them back by at least 1/3 when you plant them and keep them moist when out of the ground. Good luck!
Get ready before you take delivery, you don't really want them hanging about un-planted for a long period. As soon as you have received your delivery it is important to get them planted as soon as possible. If they are not planted within a few days make sure the roots do not dry out so give them a good soaking at the base every day or earth over the roots for longer preservation. You must cut back the top 1/3 of last year’s growth to compensate the fact that have likely lost at least the same number of roots when they are dug for you from the field. Certain lines are easier than others to establish
The trickier ones are beech and yew. Treat them with particular care, neither like to sit in wet soil and can easily rot in the root. If your site lays very wet pick carpinus for beech and think again about yew. Make sure the soil is free draining and well prepared - broken down and fertile. Don't plant too deep - if you look at the stem you can see the original soil level it was at before dug, that's your planting/ground level. Yew like a very well drained site, you can prepare this with added grit/gravel and plant them in a slightly raised planting bed, so water drains away better.
Once planted you should ensure the plant is not going to rock in the wind. Firm the soil around the plant to make sure the roots have good contact with your soil. With taller bare root plants, they should be securely staked with a cane and a suitable tie. As with all new planting water in as soon as they are planted and keep them well watered in dry times for the first growing season. Come the spring and the plants are establishing themselves, you must keep away any unwanted grass and weed from the new plants as will compete for moisture and food. Don't let them dry out in dry weather during the first season after planting.
