Each hedge unit comprises of a mix of plants which may include Hawthorn, Field Maple, Hazel, & Dogwood giving a nice mix of small trees and shrubs with different leaf colours and shapes as well as flowers. If left uncut the plants will show the following features:

Hawthorn will have masses of white flowers in May followed by small red berries in autumn much loved by Thrushes. The dense growth and thorns make this a good choice for security.

The Dog wood will have clusters of small white flowers in April –May again followed by small berries and excellent autumn shades of red on the leaves.

The Hazel will be adorned with long catkins or ‘lambs tails’ in very early spring followed by the nuts in autumn which are very tasty if you can beat the squirrels.

The Field Maple will give great leaf colour in the Autumn of bright yellow and is an excellent tree for wildlife.

Being in planters these are great for year round planting unlike the bare root hedging plants which are only available from November to March which means you can plant when you need and eliminate the need to wait until the winter.
