Description
- Everything you need to create a beautiful hedge with edible fruit and nuts
- This collection consists of premium plants specially chosen for their performance, colour, form and productivity.
- Grow your own sloes, blackberries, raspberries, chestnuts, rosehips and more
- All are supplied as 45-60cm bare roots except for blackberries and raspberries, which are supplied as 9cm pots and canes respectively. Each pack contains 5 hedging plants per square metre, enough to plant a staggered double row, plus brambles.
- In all the packs you will receive an eclectic mix that can include Hawthorn, Crabapple, Sweet Cherry, Blackthorn, Dog Rose, Raspberry, Blackberry, Hazelnut, Cherry Plum, Amelanchier, Sweet Chestnut, Tayberry, Loganberry, Blueberry, Gooseberry, Currants, Black Elder and Cherry Dogwood
- Planting an edible hedge improves soil stability and air quality
- Provides a habitat for wildlife. Bees and other pollinating insects are attracted by the flowers in spring and many bird species will feed on the fruits (unless you pick them first!)
- Hardy, easy care perennials providing interest throughout the year
- Plant in sun or partial shade in any well-drained soil and water well when newly planted.
- When planting, lay out the hedge with the bare root plants first, then add the blackberries and raspberries in spaces or towards the front of the hedge
- See individual plant info pages for detailed care instructions and dimensions

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.
Peter Mawer
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
John Harris
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
Karen McEwan
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
