Fagus Sylvatica Potted Plants

Product Description

Beech hedging becomes a beautiful, bright green hedge in spring/summer & then in autumn/winter, it retains its medium sized leaves but they turn dry & copper coloured so it has two distinctly different appearances depending on the season. Beech hedging plants are classy when cut to a formal shape but it can also be used as a semi-evergreen component in a mixed native hedge. It will grow to 5m (or perhaps even more) but because it's just medium growth rate, it can be easily kept as a relatively low hedge
- 1m upwards. It is a species that is really only suitable for free-draining soil
- if your soil is wet/heavy clay, you should consider Hornbeam instead which has a very similar appearance but is better suited to wetter soils. Grows 30-60cm per year. Available in 2 litre or 5 litre pots. Potted Plants are a more developed plant as their root systems are not disturbed during the lifting & planting process. They can be planted year round & if necessary can be left in their pots for several weeks before planting if you are unsure as to when you will be able to get round to doing the work; all they need is a little water to keep them happy. As more mature plants you dont need quite as many per metre as the bare root plants (normally 3 to 5 would suffice depending on how dense you require your hedge & how quickly you need it to look established). Pots are a great way to create a new hedge effect more quickly.
