Bare Root Hawthorn Bundle 90/120cm x 100
(Crataegus monogyna)

Hawthorn hedging produces white flowers in Spring, and red haws during Autumn. As you can imagine, it's the ideal hedge for birds and insects, as they love to munch on the haws, and the thorny, dense foliage gives birds a lovely place to protect and shelter themselves.

You must plant your Hawthorn Bare Root plant as soon as you can after it arrives, as the roots are tender and cannot dry out. 

These 90/120cm bare root Hawthorn plants are fast-growing and can exceed 5m tall when planted in good conditions.

Crataegus monogyna can reach an ultimate height of 8m but it is best maintained at 5m. With its hardy nature, it can survive in coastal, exposed, and windy sites.

• Growth rate: Fast (40-60cm per year)
• Ideal height: 5m+ Tall
• Soil type: Normal, chalk, clay
• Exposure: Exposed, coastal, inland
• Aspect: Full sun, semi-shade
• Evergreen foliage? No

When your Hawthorn Bare Root plant arrives, place it straight into a bucket of water for at least 2 hours. The roots must be wet before planting.

Your Hawthorn hedging should only need to be trimmed twice a year- firstly when its finished flowering, in the Summer, then again near the end of Autumn.
