With 12 individual large Hawthorn trees included, this collection represents fantastic value for customers wanting to establish a substantial native-style hedge, secure boundary, wildlife screen, or traditional country garden feature.
Commonly known as Quickthorn or Hawthorn, Crataegus is one of Britain's most recognisable and dependable native hedging plants. Renowned for its dense, thorny growth, beautiful white spring blossom and colourful autumn berries, Hawthorn has been used to create traditional British hedgerows for generations.
During spring, fresh green foliage appears along the branches, followed by masses of attractive white blossom. These nectar-rich flowers are extremely valuable to bees and other pollinating insects and can transform an established Hawthorn hedge into a beautiful flowering feature.
Later in the year, the flowers are followed by clusters of bright red berries, commonly known as haws. These provide attractive autumn colour and are an important seasonal food source for many garden and wild birds.
The naturally dense and thorny growth makes Quickthorn particularly useful for creating a strong, practical and attractive boundary hedge. With regular trimming, the plants develop into a thick hedge providing privacy, shelter and valuable habitat for wildlife.
This GREAT VALUE pack of 12 LARGE 3–4ft Hawthorn plants in individual 2/3 litre pots gives you an impressive amount of established hedging for the price and is ideal for creating an established-looking boundary much faster than starting with small young plants.
