Hedging

[tncountryservices]

Evening all,

 

I've been asked by a customer to plant 40 meters of evergreen hedge. It mustn't be prickerly, laurel or leylandii. Looking for suggestions of species and places to buy (mail order or wholesale) looking for 5 foot high to start.

 

Thanks in advance.

Lawson's (yeuch), privet (same), Thuja, yew spring to mind or one of the smoother leaved hollies. How about pittosporum for something different?

[combined tree services]

how about a Box hedge - Buxus sempervirens ???

[Cobbs tree&estate service]

Western Red cedar (Thuja)

[Quickthorn]

Escallonia?

 

Escallonia Hedging, Escallonia Hedge Plants | Hedging UK

 

Flowers attract plenty of bees etc.

[combined tree services]

or even Myrtle (Myrtus)

[Tony.Price]

Photinia Red Robin. Suppliers: Hedges Direct or Barchams in Cambs for the bigger specimens.

Smells of cat piss, i don't know why people use a plant to create a hedge that smells so strongly.

 

Thuja would probably be you best bet.

 

Or one or two of the coloured layandii, that do not grow as quick or as tall. You can create a colourful hedge of different colours.

[Hogs Breath]

Thuya, Taxus or Photinia.

 

Hopes Grove Nurseries should have them in the larger sizes.

Love to see the price for 40 metres of 5 foot high box!

 

Photinia probably best bet for price and speed of growth, can be a bit boring though, depends on what the client wants. Yew another good one but for 5 foot high the price will be crazy, even if you go direct to some of the Dutch nurseries. Quite a few spikeless varieties of Holly about like 'Golden van Tol', or maybe persuade them to go for something like hornbeam, which will retain a good deal of the dead leaves in the winter, still providing a good screen.

 

Try these guys to, very highly recomend Semi-mature tree supplier - Deepdale Trees, Independent Tree Nursery for trees, shrubs and hedging

Good luck
