Traditional hedgerow tree pack

Hedgerows make landscapes more permeable and habitable for wildlife. They create pathways for wildlife to move along and live within that are invaluable for maintaining and increasing biodiversity. These packs are subsidised (part-funded) by our partners* to help you plant more hedgerows.

Made up of saplings approximately 20-60cm in height (depending upon species), these packs create shrubby hedgerows and come with a tree species of your choice that grows up through the main hedgerow. These trees provide height at intervals along the hedging and significantly increase the biodiversity and habitat benefits of the hedgerow.

Each pack contains: hawthorn, blackthorn, hazel and crab apple.  Elder is also included in the 20m or over packs.  

You can then pick your tree option. Choose from pedunculate oak, silver birch, goat willow and wild cherry. Please note that sessile oak and wild cherry can be toxic to livestock, so please bear this in mind when picking your tree species. 

Our hedgerow lengths are estimated based on planting four to five saplings per meter, so final hedge length may differ. 

Also available: an uplands hedgerow pack and a horse and livestock hedgerow pack

Tree protection options:

You can choose whether you want to purchase tree protection alongside your saplings or not. Please consider whether your saplings need protection, particularly from browsing mammals.  
  • No tree protection – your order will contain saplings, but no tree protection. We would suggest this option if your saplings are unlikely to be affected by browsing mammals of any size, or if you have plans for alternative tree protection e.g., browsing reduction, fencing. 
  • Tubes and easywrap mix – your order will contain saplings, easywrap and canes for shrubs, and tubes and stakes for grow-through trees. This option provides protection from small mammals e.g. voles. 
  • Tubes and stakes for trees only - your order will contain saplings as well as tubes and stakes protection for your grow-through trees. This option provides protection from small and large mammals on the trees but no protection for the shrub species. The tubes will promote quicker upwards growth in comparison to the shrubs and will help you identify the grow-through trees when you’re considering cutting your hedge in a few years’ time. 

Estimated full-grown height:

Hawthorn: 15m. Blackthorn: 6-7m. Hazel: 10+m. Crab apple: 7-9m. Elder: 10+m. Pedunculate oak: 20-40m. Silver birch: 20-30m. Wild cherry: 18-25m. Goat willow: 6-10m.

Purchase size and growth:

These trees are cell-grown saplings, ranging from approximately 15cm-60cm in height. Cell-grown trees can be planted all year round in most situations as long as they are given the correct care. Please be aware that depending on the time of year you receive your sapling (particularly early spring), it may not look very perky upon arrival. Please do not worry as once it has been planted it should pick up quickly. 

UK and Ireland Sourced and Grown (UKISG): 

Every sapling we provide is sourced and grown in the UK and Ireland to minimise the risk of importing and spreading tree pests and diseases. Seeds are collected and stored in the UK and Ireland and are all coded and batched so that we can track each individual tree.

Planting information:

As a rough guide, trees are usually planted at around 2m intervals but please take into account the final size of the tree and be aware of buildings, services and other plants nearby to ensure that damage cannot occur from the roots and canopy as the tree grows.

Oct-Feb - This is the best time of year for planting trees and your sapling is dormant, as long as it is kept free from frost and wind as well as being kept moist and in light conditions then it will last a few weeks before planting.

Mar-Sept - Your sapling is growing fast and will need planting as soon as possible. Planting it immediately will ensure it does not dry out, lose nutrients etc.

Please note that you may require tree protection if your saplings will be at risk of damage from mammals such as rabbits or deer. Take a look at our available tree protection options.

On-going care requirements:

Once planted, your tree will need some care and attention for a few years; this will mainly be weeding around the base to reduce the competition for nutrients and ensuring your tree has enough water. For more information about caring for your trees, click here.

Delivery information: 

Please note that our saplings ship year-round and we are unable to hold or delay orders. Our standard delivery is within 10 working days.

Free delivery is available for all tree orders and your trees will be delivered within 10 working days. You will receive a cell grown sapling, ranging from approximately 15cm-60cm in height. Orders comprising of more than 900 trees may take longer than the standard 10-day delivery window.

Please be aware that depending upon the time of year you receive your sapling (particularly early spring) it may not look very perky upon arrival, please do not worry once it has been planted it should pick up quickly.

Please note that changes to regulations mean we are, unfortunately, currently unable to ship our trees to Northern Ireland. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
