Product Description
Supplied Size – 60-90cm, 2-3′ bare-root transplant.
Beech (Fagus sylvatica) makes a superb, dense hedge of 6′ plus and is very cost effective when planted in the winter as bare-root transplants, a quarter of the cost of leylandii.
The leaves begin bright, lime-green in the spring, darkening over the summer through to a deep bronze over the winter. Beech hedging plants are deciduous but the leaves are retained over the winter so privacy is maintained.
Beech hedging plants are very low maintenance, give the new growth a light trim in June, but be careful to avoid any nesting birds. This can be followed by a heavy trim for form in September or February.
It is best suited to a well drained to dry situation, it will not do well in water logged soils. Plant as bare root transplants, 3 per running metre.
