Green Beech 150/175cm Root Ball (Fagus sylvatica)
Product Code: FS-RB-150/175
Green Beech Hedge - Fagus Sylvatica - (150/175cm)
Description
Although the Beech hedge is deciduous, it is sometimes known as semi-deciduous due to the way its bold winter leaves stay on the hedge until they are ready for new leaves in the spring. As it provides year-round interest, the Beech hedge is a perfect alternative to any evergreen hedging.
Beech is quite a fast grower, reaching roughly 30-60cm per annum. It is great on its own as a traditional hedge, however, it can also make a pleasant addition to a native mixed hedge, as to provide a lovely pop of colour in the winter.
Key Features
The Fagus Sylvatica can grow well in sun or partial shade, and generally thrives better in well-drained soils. Though it is not suitable for wet or heavy clay sites, the Beech hedge can be grown in windy places (and can be used as a windbreak hedge). The plant is a great attraction to wildlife and is seen as one of the best hedging species for providing colourful, all year, seasonal interest.
