Countryside Stewardship BN11 and BN7 Mixed Native Farm Hedgerow Plant Pack - pack of 50 plants (4 species)

Our mixed native hedging packs in bare root form are the lowest-cost but are only available from November to April, the dormant season. Alternatively, we have the same mixture of plants in 2-litre pots available all year round. The pot-grown plants are more mature and bushier, so you can plant them at a slightly lower density. These farm hedgerow mixed native hedging packs contain four species of native bare-root plants. We also have economy mixed native packs, which contain just two species but still comply with farm grant rules. These packs are designed to create great, wildlife-friendly hedges suitable for farms, paddocks, and gardens where a more natural appearance to a formal hedge is required. Each farm hedgerow pack contains 50 plants, enough for 8-10 metres of hedging. Each pack contains 25 x Hawthorn, 15 x Blackthorn, 5 x Field Maple and 5 x Dog Rose or, alternatively, 25 x Blackthorn, 15 x Hawthorn, 5 x Field Maple and 5 x Dog Rose. Farm grant claims require 2-year-old 45/60cm bare root plants. All the bare root plants are grown in Herefordshire. All plants are safe for livestock, but if you are planting near horses, use our Horse Paddock packs (which do not contain Blackthorn). Some competitors offer "farm hedging" that is not grant-compliant. The DEFRA rules are strict, and with the more generous grants available, we are expecting more inspections. So, if you are claiming a grant, please ensure you are buying 1+1 plants (2-year-old plants grown at low density in the second year). Please get in touch with us by phone (or email us at hello@hedgenursery.co.uk) if you have any questions, would like advice, or if your order is likely to exceed £1000 - we may be able to offer a better price than the online price.
