Description
- Everything you need to create a beautiful hedge with edible fruit and nuts
- This collection consists of premium plants specially chosen for their performance, colour, form and productivity.
- Grow your own sloes, blackberries, raspberries, chestnuts, rosehips and more
- All are supplied as 45-60cm bare roots except for blackberries and raspberries, which are supplied as 9cm pots and canes respectively. Each pack contains 5 hedging plants per square metre, enough to plant a staggered double row, plus brambles.
- In all the packs you will receive an eclectic mix that can include Hawthorn, Crabapple, Sweet Cherry, Blackthorn, Dog Rose, Raspberry, Blackberry, Hazelnut, Cherry Plum, Amelanchier, Sweet Chestnut, Tayberry, Loganberry, Blueberry, Gooseberry, Currants, Black Elder and Cherry Dogwood
- Planting an edible hedge improves soil stability and air quality
- Provides a habitat for wildlife. Bees and other pollinating insects are attracted by the flowers in spring and many bird species will feed on the fruits (unless you pick them first!)
- Hardy, easy care perennials providing interest throughout the year
- Plant in sun or partial shade in any well-drained soil and water well when newly planted.
- When planting, lay out the hedge with the bare root plants first, then add the blackberries and raspberries in spaces or towards the front of the hedge
- See individual plant info pages for detailed care instructions and dimensions

Excellent delivery and service
Well, the delivery was spot on, the tree looks healthy enough for a sleeping plant, although at the moment most of the branches are on one side of the trunk which in itself is bent banana-style. quite wonky. One can only hope that it grows into a fruitful plant with some character?

Nice sized tree in good condition
Time will tell on the quality of the product (bare-root apple trees), but the stems that arrived seemed in great condition and very well packaged so no damage in transit. Looking forward to Spring!

Lovely tree
So happy with my purchase of my Braeburn Hillwell apple tree from Roots Plants. It arrived promptly, well packaged and in a good, healthy condition. I soaked it for an hour before planting and it's doing well. Looking forward to our home grown apples, in time.
Ms Arlene Bocking
It has picked up now and is growing well
It arrived in a heat wave and looked a little bit sorry for itself when planted out but it has picked up now and is growing well.

Good service all round
Arrived on time as the seller said it would and the courier gave me a time slot to track my parcel. It came well packaged and was of good quality for this time of year. It looks a good and healthy tree and will be planted up in a few weeks after the ground has been prepared. I’m pleased with my purchase.
