Yes, thorns deter animals and intruders effectively. How does root ball compare to bare root? Root ball plants establish more reliably, especially in poor soils or exposed gardens. How tall will this hedge become? It starts at 175-200cm and can be maintained at 5m; left uncut, it may reach 8m. Does hawthorn attract wildlife? Yes, it attracts birds for shelter and food, as well as pollinators like bees. Is maintenance difficult? Routine trimming once or twice per year keeps the hedge dense and manageable. Always use gloves due to the thorns.
