Looking for a fast, effective, and attractive way to establish a hedge? Our pot-grown Hornbeam hedge plants are the ideal solution. Grown in 10-litre pots and standing at 6ft (180cm) tall, these premium plants offer immediate impact and long-term success.

Unlike bare root hedging, these pot-grown plants have fully established root systems, ensuring better transplant success and faster establishment in your garden.

Why Choose Hornbeam?

Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) is a native British species long valued for formal and informal hedging. It provides year-round structure and seasonal interest:

  • Spring: Fresh green leaves appear early, signaling the start of the growing season.

  • Autumn: Leaves turn a golden-copper colour, adding warmth to your garden.

  • Winter: Unlike many deciduous hedges, hornbeam retains its dry leaves through most of winter, maintaining privacy and wind protection until new growth pushes the leaves off in spring.

Premium-Quality Plants

  • Supplied at 6ft (180cm) in height in 10L pots.

  • Strong, well-established root systems for quick and successful planting.

  • Significantly more robust and reliable than bare root alternatives.

  • Offers near-instant visual impact, ideal for privacy screening.

Growth and Maintenance

  • Grows approximately 30–45cm (1–1.5ft) per year after planting.

  • Trim annually once the desired hedge height is reached to maintain a neat, dense form.

  • Plant 45cm apart in a single row or 60cm apart in a double row for faster coverage and thicker screening.

Soil and Watering Advice

  • Thrives in a variety of soils, including heavy and wet soils, and is more tolerant than beech.

  • Water consistently during dry periods, especially in the first year.

  • Using a leaky hose irrigation system is recommended for ease and efficiency (available on our Accessories page).

Ideal for:

  • Quick, attractive garden screening

  • Windbreaks and privacy hedges

  • Formal and naturalistic planting

  • Gardens with heavier or moisture-retentive soils
