Bare Root Hedging

Bare root hedging consists of young plants supplied without soil around their roots, lifted during the dormant season (November to March). Lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to plant, they establish quickly when planted in winter. Ideal for creating long stretches of hedge, bare root plants are a practical choice for everything from formal boundaries to wildlife-friendly planting.
