    VAT is not chargeable on these plants.

Large, fast growing, native, deciduous shrub with large mid-green leaves. Very attractive in spring when festooned with many long yellow catkins which resemble lambs' tails and provide early pollen for bees and other insects.. These are followed by edible nuts in autumn which are loved by people, squirrels, dormice and other wildlife. Grows happily in sun or shade. For named fruiting varieties see fruit section.

HEDGE Trim in March (taking care to leave some catkins and female flowers if nuts are wanted). For hedges 1.5 - 3.7m (5 - 12ft). Plant 60 - 90cm (2 - 3ft) apart.

SHRUB 6 x 4.6m (20 x 15ft).

Bare-Root Plants (including Seedlings and Transplants)

Bare-root plants are sold without a pot/soil around the roots. This is a more cost effective and environmentally friendly way of growing plants. To ensure the best plant health we do not store our plants in cold storage, but they are left in our field or plant beds until they are ready for packing or collection.

Seedlings are grown from seed and are typically 1-2 years old. Transplanted plants have been lifted from the ground and replanted. This encourages a better fibrous root system and makes the plant stronger and bushier.

Pot Grown Plants

These are normally sold in small 9cm wide pots, unless a different pot size is shown (where the pot size is shown in litres). Pot grown plants can be planted at any time of the year.

Availability

Pot Grown are generally available all year. Bare rooted plants are only available when the plants are dormant (typically from late November to March).

If a plant is currently out of stock because it is out of season (for example, bare rooted plants in summer) or we have sold out but we are expecting more to be available you can pre-order the plant. We only charge credit/debit cards when an order is despatched, not when an order is placed.

Planting Distances for planting as a Hedge

We recommend planting Hazel in a single row between 60cm/2ft apart and 90cm/3ft apart:

Planting closer will mean the plants will grow together and form a hedge quicker, but requires more plants.

To calculate the number of plants needed for a length of hedging, click on Planting Distance Calculator above.

Planting Guide & RootGrow

We recommend planting with RootGrow. The recommended amount for RootGrow for an order will be shown in your shopping basket.

We will send out a planting guide with your order, you also can find a guide to planting here.

Pruning

Hedging - As a general rule, plants grown for hedging need pruning to encourage side branching. Usually the harder a plant is pruned the bushier it will be. If they are not pruned there is a danger that the hedges will be thin and bare at the base and that the tips of the plants will die back. If the plant is naturally bushy, less or sometimes no pruning will be needed to achieve a dense hedge.

Hazel: Cut back by about one third the leading and long side shoots and repeat during the second winter.
