Due to its prickly nature, Blackthorn is ideal as a security hedge species- the birds love to use these plants for shelter, too.

If you're lucky, pick the sloes before the birds get them, and you can make some delicious sloe gin!

Ensure you plant your Blackthorn Bare Root hedge as soon as possible once they're delivered. The roots cannot dry out.

This̴Ì?80/100cm bare root Blackthorn plant is fast-growing and can reach up to 4m tall in good conditions.

Blackthorn hedging can reach an ultimate height of 4m, with its fast growth rate of 40-60cm per year.

  • Growth rate: Fast (40-60cm per year)
  • Ideal height: 4m+ Tall
  • Soil type: Normal, chalk, clay
  • Exposure: Inland, coastal, exposed
  • Aspect: Full sun, semi-shade
  • Evergreen foliage? No

As soon as you get your Blackthorn Bare Root hedge, place the plant straight into a bucket of water for at least 2 hours- this is because the roots must be wet before planting.

After planting, ensure you keep it well-watered (the soil must be well-draining, too).

Stick to trimming your Blackthorn hedge in the Winter, during the dormant months (do not prune during freezing temperatures). You have the option to leave your Prunus spinosa to grow naturally, or to keep it nice and neat. Just make sure you wear some protection when trimming/pruning as it's rather prickly.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot Grown
    Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging
    Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
