ROOTBALLED HEDGING

Rootballed Hedging plants are grown in the field and are in effect ‘crops’ that are harvested to order. And like other crops there is a window of opportunity for harvest and planting. After being carefully tended, clipped and fertilized throughout the summer, lifting normally begins in late October and continues through to April. Conifer types, however are often available earlier (September) and are usually still being lifted in May depending on how cool the weather stays. The longer it stays cool the longer the season lasts.

Rootballed hedging will have developed more slowly than container-grown options resulting in stronger, fuller plants ideal for mature looking hedges or single specimens.

COMMON SPECIES

Carpinus betulus

Elaeagnus ebbingei

• Fagus sylvatica

• Fagus sylvatica atropunicea

BARE ROOT HEDGING

Every winter Glenmore supply miles of barerooted hedging and thousands of forestry trees to projects all over the UK. These plants are carefully packaged and efficiently delivered straight to site anywhere in the UK. Our most popular item in this range is Glenmore’s own ‘Native Country Hedge Mix’. This comprises an attractive mixture of native shrubs which will produce a stock proof hedge full of colour as well as food for wildlife. The mixture complies with government grant schemes and is a great favourite with Farmers, Estates and Habitat Specialists.

SHRUBS

Shrubs are an essential component to most gardens and bring colour, structure, texture and fragrance from which gardeners can create beautiful and unique canvases. The range of shrubs available today is quite extraordinary and you would never be stuck for choice. However, that in itself can make it hard to choose the right shrubs for your garden.

COMMON SPECIES

• Buddelia

• Hydrangea

• Phormiums

Spirea

Lavander

• Euonymus

• Ceanothus

Some shrubs can be grown as hedges or are simply perfect grown as singular plants for their own unique attributes. Small shrubs are particularly versatile as they can either be planted in the garden within a scheme to add creative colour and style to your outdoor space. The design possibilities are endless and the use of shrubs in gardens is only limited by the imagination and of course, available space!

TOPIARY

Topiary has been used in the gardens of Europe since Roman times. It survived a popularity decline in the 1700s and experienced a dramatic revival in the mid 19th century, from which it has not regressed. In fact, Topiary today is more popular than ever and found in a huge number of gardens from the smallest spheres to stately works of art that are often decades in the making.

Along with mature hedging, large unusual topiary and feature plants are really what we are best at. We source these shapes from specialist growers all over Europe and availability and quality is checked before we quote for each item. There are rarely two enquiries alike for such diverse plants so each query is assessed and quoted for on an individual basis.

COMMON SPECIES

Taxus baccata

Ilex crenata

Buxus sempervirens

• Thuja

• Lonicera nitida

PLEACHED TREES

The ‘pleaching’ of trees is a traditional practice of pruning a tree to form horizontal tiers of lateral growth.

Ancient pleached trees can be seen in many old formal gardens around Britain. This method of pruning and forming of trees provides additional wind protection and privacy to a garden in a way that nothing else can.

COMMON SPECIES

Carpinus betulus

Fagus sylvatica

• Photinia red robin

• Prunus lusitanica

Tilia, Carpinus and Fagus are the trees most often chosen for pleaching, although many other types of tree can be used. Carpinus and Fagus will give a greater degree of privacy in the winter months, as tightly clipped mature trees will hold much of their leaf through the winter.

BARE ROOT & ROOTBALLED TREES

Barerooted and rootballed trees are usually available from October to early/mid April. A good selection of pot grown trees are available outside the rootball season.

The winter season brings with it our full range of large ‘standard’ trees.

These are ever popular with Councils and Estates as well as Landscapers and Garden Designers.

COMMON SPECIES

• Betula pendula

• Alnus glutinosa

Tilia cordata

Sorbus aucuparia

Acer campestre

• Carpinus betulus

• Taxus baccata
