Whether you need to control livestock or need a secure boundary, these thorny plants will do the job. Choose from typical country hedging like Whitethorn and Blackthorn or try something different like Berberis or Pyracantha (Firethorn). Many of these spiny plants give the added bonus of abundant fruit for wildlife.
Bareroot hedging is only available while the plants are dormant from mid-November to March. You can learn more about the differences between bareroot and potted plants and about planting a bareroot hedge in our advice section.
Potted hedging is available all year, but the best selection, and the best time to plant, is in late spring (April to May) and early autumn (September to October).
