Planting & Care

A large, native, deciduous hedge that produces delicious, edible berries.
Features slender, silvery leaves and thorny branches, making it an excellent intruder-proof barrier.
Small, yellow flowers in spring are followed by clusters of bright orange superfood berries.
Fully hardy and easy to maintain at a height of 1-4m, though it can reach 6m if left unpruned.
Thrives in damp, coastal areas and improves poor soil by fixing nitrogen.
The vitamin-rich berries are perfect for pies, preserves, and juices. Plant in full sun for the best harvest.
A wildlife benefactor, its berries are famously associated with Pegasus and are used in modern equine supplements.

Species: Buckthorn
Features: Native to UK, Winter interest, Wildlife benefactor, Colourful berries & fruits, Intruder proof
Flowering Time: March, April
Flower Colour: Tiny yellow flowers in spring
Harvest Time: August, September, October, November
Position: Full sun
Soil Type: Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but prefers well drained, loamy soils.
Hardiness: H7 - frost resistant down to -20°C, needs no winter protection.
Habit: Bushy hedge
Eventual Spread: Spreads 4m+ unless pruned
Growth Rate: Average, expect 20-40cm per year
Pest & Disease Resistance: Generally pest and disease free

Planting Time: Plant between November and April.
Planting: If your soil is heavy or sandy, mix in some perlite or fine horticultural grit when planting to improve drainage.
Pruning: Prune only when the plant is dormant in late winter or early spring before the buds open. To encourage a good fruit yield, avoid trimming the hedge uniformly. Instead, use a mix of heading back, thinning, and shortening cuts on a percentage of the stems each year. The aim is to replace all branches over a 4-year cycle.
Care: When your bare root plants arrive in winter, they can be stored for several weeks in a cool, dark spot. In spring, plant within a few days of arrival.
