A high-performance mixed native hedging pack designed to create dense, year-round privacy and screening. Built around a Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) base, this pack is ideal for garden boundaries, rural properties, paddocks, driveways, and field edges where reliable cover is essential.
Hornbeam provides the backbone of the hedge, retaining much of its foliage through winter, while a carefully selected mix of native species adds flowers, berries, wildlife value, and seasonal interest. The result is a thick, resilient privacy hedge with a natural countryside look.
All plants are supplied as 40โ60 cm bare root saplings, suitable for planting between November and April.

Species Notes Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) Dense foliage provides excellent screening; leaves turn yellow then russet-brown in autumn and are often retained through winter. Highly tolerant of heavy clay soils and forms the backbone of this hedge. Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) Clusters of fragrant white flowers in spring followed by glossy red haws; adds structure and strong wildlife value. Hazel (Corylus avellana) Bears yellow catkins in February, providing early pollen for bees; produces edible hazelnuts in autumn. Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) Creamy-white spring blossom followed by sloes in autumn, traditionally used for sloe gin. Crab Apple (Malus sylvestris) Nectar-rich flowers for pollinators; fruits eaten by birds and mammals. Spindle (Euonymus europaeus) Pretty pink flowers, vivid autumn colour, and excellent habitat for insects. Wild Privet (Ligustrum vulgare) Semi-evergreen shrub with white flowers and dark berries loved by birds. Dog Rose (Rosa canina) Pretty pink flowers provide nectar for insects; hips are eaten by birds such as blackbirds and redwings. Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) Highly attractive to wildlife; flowers feed pollinators and berries support birds and small mammals. Whilst we'll try to include as many of the following species as possible, we reserve the right to alter the mix based on availability.
