Extra Large Size (7-8ft) – Grown for years in open ground for strong, upright growth and dense structure
Rootballed for Quality – Freshly dug to order, not container-grown, ensuring superior root development and health
Instant Impact – Perfect for creating mature, natural-looking hedges immediately
Award-Winning Growers – From a trusted family nursery in Norfolk with a reputation for excellence
Planting your Hornbeam rootball trees is quick and straightforward:
Dig a suitable hole or trench large enough for the rootball
Plant only 1 or 2 trees per metre for instant screening, exactly as pictured
Place the plant into the hole with the hessian sack still intact – no need to remove it
Backfill with soil, gently firm down, and water thoroughly
Continue to water regularly, especially during dry spells, to encourage strong root establishment
Rootball plants are grown in the ground, not containers, and then carefully lifted for planting. This method ensures stronger, more established plants. Here's why rootball trees are a superior choice:
Field-Grown – Raised in large open ground for stronger root systems and natural growth habits
Larger, More Mature Plants – Bigger and bushier than container-grown alternatives, for instant impact in your garden or project
Wrapped in Hessian – Each rootball is wrapped in a biodegradable hessian sack to hold the soil and roots together during transport
Plant with Sack On – No need to remove the hessian before planting – it naturally decomposes in the soil
Seasonal Availability – Only available during the traditional rootball season (autumn to early spring), when plants can be safely lifted and replanted
