Is it too late for bare roots?

Hi,

I've been hoping to get quite a lot of bare root hedging done under the assumption that March was ok but I saw a comment about it being too late already because of a mild winter or something.

Is too late?

    I'd be ok with doing it til end of March - just remember to keep it watered well for the first year.  Our winter (Surrey) has been the coldest for years, and everything is weeks behind.  However, I hear (from Forum friends image) that Scotland has been mild ...so I guess it depends where you live .....

    Not too late: I planted 80+ hedging plants last week.  Little sign of growth  in SE England.....don't know where you live Ib.

    Based in Sussex, I garden to encourage as many birds to my garden as possible.
