A Completely Edible Hedge
- Everything you need to create a beautiful hedge with edible fruit and nuts! This collection consists of premium plants especially-chosen for their performance, colour, form and productivity.
- Grow your own sloes, blackberries, raspberries, chestnuts, rosehips and more. All of the plants are supplied as bare roots, except for blackberries and raspberries, which are supplied as 9cm pots and canes, respectively.
- Each pack contains five hedging plants per square metre, enough to plant a staggered double row (plus brambles).
- Your hedging pack will contain an eclectic mix of plants, chosen from 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, air quality and provides a fabulous 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!
- Featuring hardy, easy care plants that provide interest throughout the year, plant your hedging plants 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.

Meet Cameron
Putting shrubs in the starlight (and boy do they shine…)
Cameron is mad about plants, which is lucky, really, because he’s absolutely surrounded by them here at the nursery. Having studied at the Student Plant Unit at Pershore College, Cameron went on to compete at the Grand Finals for the 2022 Horticulturist of the Year Awards. With a team of dedicated growers on hand to help, Cameron utilises our industry-leading nursery (and the lovely, fertile conditions of the Cotswolds) to grow shrubs that aren’t just good-looking, they’re good-growing too.
