7BEST EVERGREEN HEDGES

A List From Ready Hedge LTD.

EVERGREEN HEDGE

The shelter provided by evergreen hedging is also year-round for garden wildlife such as birds. This is particularly important during winter months. Many evergreens provide flowers and berries that are a food source to birds, bees, and other wildlife.

1CEANOTHUS

.

California lilac (Ceanothus), is an excellent choice if you are looking for a flowering, informal hedge. It is best to plant it in a sunny, sheltered spot. It is best to prune it gently after flowering. As with all hedge pruning, wait until nesting birds have left before you trim.

2.PORTUGUESE LAUREL

Prunus lusitanica (Portuguese laurel) has beautiful green leaves that are curved away from the maroon-coloured stems. It is extremely easy to grow, and can be cut back if necessary. To make a dense hedge, prune it from autumn through summer.

3.HEDGE GERMANDER

Hedge germander

(Teucriumxlucidrys), a Mediterranean herb that is rarely used, can be used as a short informal hedge. It enjoys full sun and good drainage. After flowering, clip it back.

4.GRISELINIA

Griselinia littoralis, which has rounded, applegreen leaves, is a great choice for a brighter hedge. A dense, leafy hedge can be created by trimming it every year in the late summer. Griselinia is best suited for a sunny and protected spot. Griselinia can tolerate salt winds and is therefore best suited for a coastal area.

5.HOLLY

There are many holly varieties that can be used to hedge, and they are especially useful if you want to create a strong barrier against wouldbe thieves. The Ilex aquifolium, a native of the UK, and its cultivars, are classic choices. However, you can also choose box-leaved, Ilex crenata, or Ilexx x koehneana. Pruning can take place in May or September.

6.HOLMOAK

The majestic, evergreen holm oak (Quercus Ilex) will eventually become a magnificent, tall tree. However, it can also be grown to be an attractive, wind-resistant hedge. The best time to prune is in the late summer, when you can encourage new, silver-coloured leaves. Also, it will keep it dense and neat.

7.PITTOSPORUM

Many pittosporums can be used to make beautiful, evergreen hedges. In late summer and autumn, trim them to shape.
