Beech Hedging

Beech makes a great hedge. Although beech plants are deciduous, the striking winter leaves stay on the hedge until they are ready to make way for new growth in spring, making beech hedging a wonderful alternative to evergreen hedging that provides year-round interest.

Fantastic on its own as a formal hedge, beech hedging has the added benefit of being a native UK tree native which serves as shelter both in summer and winter for local wildlife when the rest of the deciduous hedges have lost their leaves.
