Do you have to have a mixed native hedge, or can it be a single specie?

There are many benefits to planting mixed native hedging, with what it can provide for wildlife and the way it can adapt to the country's weather conditions/surroundings. However, many people believe that native hedging must include a mixture of species; that's not always the case...

Though having a mixed native hedge is beneficial, it is possible to stick to one specie. It will still have the same benefits (i.e., like being able to tolerate certain conditions specifically found in that country), but it just may not have as many features as it would if you were to plant a mixture. The choice is completely up to you.
