Hedge Planting

[Jez]

I think I have done my maths correctly. 250 trees needed for a new hedge to be planted in Naomi's garden!

Planting suggestions please

Look here they do mail order or you can pick them up they are really cheep. I got hawthorn and
blackthorn from them last year and they are doing really well.

I take it these are to be bare rooted? a staggered double row will give good thickness and if you angle the whips (ie don't plant upright) you will get more upright shoots a quicker hedge in effect

Thanks all for your help & advice!

Was thinking of planting the bulk with Hawthorn, then diversifying the rest with beneficial insect/bird/Squirrel loving plants aswell as hoping to make the most out of fruit trees in the hedgerow. So two more questions;-

1. How many Hawthorn do you think I should plant roughly?

2.Once a Leylandii gets felled ( giving more light to the situ), do you think Naomi will be able to plant in Field Maple, in a westly posistion under a canopy of Ash Hazel, Lime & Oak?

Thanks In advance
