Hi guys,
Thanks to everyone for their tips on hedging plants, much appreciated. We did establish one seven years ago, but now can't remember where we sourced the bare roots. We used a mixture of beech, hawthorn, red maple, rowen, red berberis, pear and hornbeam. We're on granite here, in North Wales in a mountainous area. The soil is pretty acidic. I now want to establish a second hedge, with more of an emphasis on food for pollinators and other insect life. The second hedge is going in a more sheltered, but drier part of the garden. Reading around, I was thinking of hawthorn, berberis, maple, wild cherry. Any suggestions? Thanks again, Sian
