RHS Bare Root hedging is a very low cost way of planting a hedge, but is only available to buy and plant when dormant (November-March). Orders ahead of 1st November will be stored to guarantee an early delivery date.
If you are buying Bare Root hedging plants, you may know that their survival depends largely on the quality of the plant AND the way it has been handled. HedgeNursery.co.uk is the exclusive provider of Royal Horticultural Society Bare Root hedging plants with a known seed provenence, which are grown in 220 acres of rich Herefordshire soil. As they are dispatched directly from the fields, rather than through a nursery, they are much fresher than imported or even stored plants.
RHS bare root plants are grown through low input horticultural methods. Plants are rotated with pigs annually, to improve soil condition. Water is harvested in the winter for use in the summer. No heat or polytunnels are used and, as the plants are dispatched direct from the fields, transport is kept to a minimum.
Steve, a Kew scholar, is the head nurseryman. He and his staff have managed the whole growing process from seed collection to dispatch, to ensure effective quality control for the last 22 years. He is a horticultural expert, producing very high quality plants.
