Rootball Hedging

The 175-200cm Hawthorn Hedge (Crataegus monogyna) root ball is a fast-growing, thorny hedging plant ideal for robust garden protection, wildlife habitat, and year-round interest. Its dense branches create a natural barrier, while white spring flowers and autumn red haws attract birds and pollinators.

Key Benefits

  • Height after planting: 1.75-2.00m; mature height up to 8m if untrimmed
  • Establishment rate: grows 40-60cm per year
  • Root ball provides better survival in challenging sites than bare root
  • Excellent choice for exposed, coastal, and windy locations

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is hawthorn good for security hedging? 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.

Common questions

Bare root plants are field-grown and lifted dormant — the cheapest way to plant a hedge. Pot grown plants have an established root system and can be planted year-round. Root ball plants are mature field-grown plants lifted with a soil ball for instant height.
Pot grown plants can go in the ground at any time of year. Bare root is supplied dormant from November to March, and root ball plants are lifted in that same window.
3 plants per metre for a standard single-row hedge, or 5 per metre (staggered double row) for a dense screen.
