Product Description

Hazel is a quick growing, native plant with heart-shaped green leaves which turn golden yellow in autumn. It is excellent for hedges, either as a componant of a mixed native planting, or as a single species hedge. It can also be grown as a multi-stemmed specimen tree. Hazel bears attractive yellow catkins in late winter and early spring, alongside little yellow flowers, followed by edible hazelnuts in autumn. It is tolerant of most soils, and will thrive even in full shade. Average hedge height 5-10ft for a hedge, or 20ft for a tree
Recommended planting distance: 5 per metre
Hardiness: Fully Hardy
Suitable for: Mixed native hedge, single species hedge, small tree

Bare root plants: These plants can be planted anytime between November and March. We keep our bare root hedging in tubs of damp compost at the nursery. If you are not planting your plants immediately then keep the roots damp (preferably in compost) and out the sun until you are ready to plant.
We may prune 20% off the tops of your plants before sending. This will encourage strong bushy growth
