About Beech Hedging Green 150-175cm Bare Root Delivery from November

Green Beech Hedging 150–175cm Bare Root

Tall, Classic Hedging for Instant Impact and Year-Round Presence

Green Beech (Fagus sylvatica) at 150–175cm tall is an excellent choice for creating an almost instant screen. These strong, bare root plants offer immediate height for privacy, shelter, or boundary definition with the timeless appeal of native British hedging.

Though technically deciduous, Green Beech is famed for its ability to hold onto its crisp coppery leaves throughout winter, giving the appearance of a semi-evergreen hedge. In spring, the hedge bursts back to life with fresh green foliage, offering a vibrant and tidy look.

Key Features
