A really popular species for garden hedging, with its bright green leaves which turn coppery coloured in autumn/winter. We also have Purple or Copper Beech. If you're considering Beech, also look at Hornbeam which is easier to grow | | 
A beautiful hedging plant with purple foliage, the Copper Beech is a popular choice, as is the classic Green Beech and if purple is a must, consider beautiful Berberis |
|
| 
This Berberis turns a glowing, bright red colour in autumn and has pretty yellow flowers in spring – and lethal prickly spines to deter intruders. It is fast growing and very easy to establish | | 
A beautiful native hedging species, flowering in very early spring before there are any leaves in the hedgerows, and particularly good for damp soils – and it’s the berries (sloes) of this plant that make great gin! |

This evergreen species is most often used to create low/dwarf hedging which is very low maintenance. Available as bare root, pot grown, cell grown and root ball plants and we have a range of Box topiary. We also have Buxus sempervirens Suffruticosa | |

| Our Hedging PlantsVirtually all our hedging plants are grown in the UK, either by ourselves or by one of our carefully selected contract growers. We grow all the main hedge species for garden hedging and for commercial hedging situations - fast growing hedge plants, slow growing, evergreen, mature hedging and dwarf hedging - anything you could possibly want in all the main hedge plant species - Hawthorn, Blackthorn, Box, Privet, Leylandii, Griselinia, Escallonia, Beech, Cherry or Common Laurel, Hornbeam, Holly, Lonicera, Photinia, Pyracantha, Western Red Cedar, Yew and many more.
Please see the About Us section for photographs of our outdoor irrigation system in action and whilst you will see a greenhouse (for propogation) in one of the photos, you'll also see that the vast majority of the hedging plants are grown outdoors. We think this is very important to get the best quality plants with the highest success ratio - if you decide not to buy from us (as if!) you should ask about the growing method and make sure whoever you buy from has grown their plants themselves or only used their own contract growers rather than just collected whatever's available from a local cash and carry.
