Planting & Care

A fast-growing, deciduous hedge that holds its leaves through winter, providing extended screening.
Foliage shimmers in golden-green hues, brightening through the season before turning a deep copper in autumn.
This robust shrub is an excellent windbreak, thriving in most soil types except heavy clay or very exposed, windy sites.
Can reach a height of 5m but is easily maintained anywhere between 1-5m to suit your garden.
Recipient of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its outstanding performance.

Species: Beech
Features: Native to UK, Autumn colour
Flowers: Small green flowers appear in spring.
Position: Thrives in full sun to partial shade.
Soil: Prefers any well-drained, fertile soil. Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but for heavy or sandy soils, mix in perlite or horticultural grit to improve drainage.
Hardiness: H6 - Fully hardy in all of the UK and northern Europe (-20 to -15°C).
Habit: A bushy shrub with multiple shoots.
Eventual Spread: Spreads approximately 2-3m unless pruned.
Growth Rate: Fast growing, expect 30-60cm per year.

Planting Time: Can be planted at any time of year.
Spacing: For a dense hedge, plant in a double staggered row. We recommend 5-7 plants per metre for small plants (under 1.2m).
Watering: Water well when newly planted and during dry spells for at least the first year.
Feeding: Feeding is not required as this low-maintenance plant gets its nutrients from the soil.
Pruning: Prune an established beech hedge in late summer (August is ideal). A light trim can be done in June if it's looking messy.
Pests & Diseases: Good general resistance. Aphids and beech bark scale may occasionally be a problem, and it may be affected by coral spot.
