Common Questions

  • Is Western Red Cedar low maintenance? Yes, requires minimal pruning and is disease resistant, making it suitable for Scottish gardens.
  • How does it compare to leylandii? Slower, steadier growth; easier to prune; maintains foliage density for privacy.
  • Are pot grown plants easy to establish? Yes, pot grown roots adapt quickly after planting for reliable establishment.
  • What are the key benefits? Evergreen coverage, improved privacy, noise reduction, and adaptability to UK soils.
  • Will these provide fast screening? Expect dense growth from year one; multiple plants create an effective hedge after 2-3 seasons.

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.
