Our Native Farm Hedging Mix, Suitable for Stewardship BN11 planting,  contains a mixture of 65% Hawthorn and at least 5 other native species to create a traditional farm hedge. The other 5 variable species are usually made up of Blackthorn, Field maple, Dogwood, Crab apple, Guelder Rose, Dog Rose,  and Hazel. These bare root plants are available from November to April.

Our Native Farm Hedging is approved for Countryside Stewardship BN11 Hedge Planting . Our Native Farm Hedging mix is a great choice for paddocks, fields and gardens. None of the plants are poisonous to livestock, and they provide a diverse habitat that encourages wildlife who feast on the fruits, seeds and berries the hedge provides. It also creates a natural corridor for the movement of wildlife, and RSBP says that these hedges provide support for up to 80% of our woodland birds.

Our native hedging mix plants contain a mix of species that provide year round seasonal interest. Native Farm Hedging provides a substitute for lost woodland edge habitat. Most Native farm Hedging you see is ancient, as far back as mediaeval times, and over time, these hedges provided enclosures and the foundation of our countryside you see today. Native farm Hedging today is common in garden, industrial sites and office buildings.

Native Farm Hedging is supplied at the rate of 5 plants per metre or 6 plants per metre for Stewardship  and is planted in a double staggered row. Distance between rows of about 50cms. The Farm Hedging will then provide a good thick hedge giving protection to stock and food and shelter for wildlife throughout the year.

Native Farm Hedging is suitable for all types of soil. Once planted, water well, and keep the weeds under control for the first couple of years, until established.

Rabbit guards can be used but keep weed free and discard after three years, they are not biodegradable. Bamboo canes inside the rabbit guard provide support for the young plants. Trim the plants once a year, in the autumn, but not in the spring which could disturb nesting birds. Reduce the height of any new growth with secateurs in year one and two. Thereafter trim the side and the top which encourages new growth .

Native Farm Hedging should grow to a height of 2m in around 3 years.
