About Beech Hedging Green 60-80cm Bare Root Delivery from November

Green Beech Hedging 60–80cm Bare Root

Elegant Deciduous Hedging with Year-Round Appeal

Green Beech (Fagus sylvatica) is one of the finest native hedging choices, offering a graceful, semi-evergreen screen with lush green leaves in spring and summer that turn coppery and persist through winter. Supplied as 60–80cm tall bare root plants, this size is ideal for establishing a hedge that’s quick to fill out while still being cost-effective for larger runs.

Beech hedging forms a dense, formal boundary with a refined appearance that suits both rural and contemporary garden styles.


Key Features

  • Height at delivery: 60–80cm (bare root, untrimmed)

  • Foliage: Bright green in spring and summer, copper-brown in winter

  • Growth Rate: Moderate – 30–60cm per year

  • Mature Height: 1.5–4 m depending on pruning

  • Root Type: Bare root – excellent for planting during dormancy (Nov–Apr)


Benefits of Green Beech

  • Holds dead leaves in winter, offering year-round privacy

  • Native British species, great for biodiversity and wildlife

  • Tolerates partial shade and a wide range of soils

  • Takes well to clipping, for neat or natural-style hedges

  • Strong structural presence without the heaviness of evergreens


Planting & Care

  • Planting Season: November to April (dormant season for bare root)

  • Spacing: 4–5 plants per metre in a single row; 5–7 per metre for a double staggered row

  • Soil: Moist, well-drained, not waterlogged; prefers neutral to slightly alkaline soil

  • Light: Full sun to part shade

  • Maintenance: Trim once annually in late summer to encourage bushiness and leaf retention

  • Watering: Water well after planting and in dry spells during establishment


Why Choose 60–80cm Bare Root Beech?

  • Perfect size for strong first-year growth and quick coverage

  • Cost-effective for long hedges or larger projects
