About Big Deal Beech Hedging Green 125-150cm Bare Root x 100 Delivery from November

Green Beech Hedging 125–150cm Bare Root

Tall Bare Root Hedging for Fast Privacy and Classic British Style

Green Beech (Fagus sylvatica) is a timeless, native hedging plant that offers a beautiful, leafy screen with year-round interest. At 125–150cm tall, these bare root plants provide a significant head start—ideal for those wanting quicker privacy without the cost of container-grown plants.

While technically deciduous, Green Beech is famous for holding its rich, coppery autumn leaves well into winter, creating a hedge that offers screening even in the colder months. In spring, lush green foliage emerges to refresh the hedge with vibrant colour.
