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 wetheavy clay, you should consider Hornbeam instead which has a very similar appearance but is better suited to wetter soils. Bare roots supplied 60cm high and grows 30 60cm per year.Bare Root hedging plants are a great, cost effective way for you to achieve your hedging goals. They are grown in an open environment, exposed to natural conditions, which allows these plants to develop with no restrictions.
