Stock Friendly Hedging

Hedge plants chosen to knit into classic mixed country hedging that is suitable for horses and other livestock. Sold in packs of 50, these are strong 60/80 cm hedging plants ideal for farm or garden hedges and approved for grant-aided planting. The hedge should be ready for laying (if you want) in about 4-5 years from planting. Like all newly planted hedging however, it will need to be protected from the animals for the first few years. The mix is 50% hawthorn and 10% each of 5 species chosen by us from Crab Apple, Dog Rose, Dogwood, Field Maple, Guelder Rose, Hazel, Pear, Sweet Briar, Wayfaring Tree etc. Please note that we do not include Blackthorn because of the damage its spines can do to horses' eyes.
