Product Description

Green Beech produces masses of glossy foliage that is densely packed with wavy-edges leaves. One of the most popular hedging plants in the UK due to its magnificent colour and ability to perform. Strictly speaking a deciduous shrub, the Green Beech hedge can retain its coppery leaves in their dry state throughout the winter if trimmed annually in August, before bursting forth with its vibrant green foliage come spring. An excellent formal hedge, the Green Beech can also be grown as a component of a native mixed hedge and a shelter to wildlife throughout the winter. This magnificent shrub is suitable for well-drained soil and can grown as a hedge of any height from 1m upwards. Plant 45cm apart. Supplied as 45-60cm loose root plants.

Growing at a glance…

The fagus can be pruned back in July/August to keep it a manageable size. They are suitable for planting in most types of well drained, reasonably fertile soil. The Fagus (Beech) hedge is perfect for all locations within the garden. You can also add some bonemeal or peat at the roots once planting.
