A robust mixed native hedging pack designed to create a dense, thorny, stockproof boundary for farmland, paddocks, field margins, and rural properties. Built around a high proportion of Hawthorn and Blackthorn, this hedge forms a tough, interlocking barrier that helps contain livestock while delivering excellent wildlife value.
With 60% Hawthorn and 20% Blackthorn, this pack creates a strong, defensive structure, while a selection of additional native species adds resilience, seasonal interest, and biodiversity. Once established, it forms a long-lasting living fence that integrates seamlessly into the countryside.
All plants are supplied as 40–60 cm bare root hedging, suitable for planting between November and April.
