- Native to the UK, providing a wonderful habitat for wildlife.

- Position: Full sun to partial shade
- Habit: Bushy. This shrub has several shoots rather than a single stem.

- Pruning: Prune an established beech hedge in late summer. August is the ideal time, as it allows the plants to recover before winter. A light trim can be done in June if needed.
