Beech hedging

Kimitatsu

Hi all

Have done a quick search but nothing obvious jumped out at me!

I have inerited a garden that must have been beautiful in its day but has sadly become rather overgrown. Gradually working my way around it and I have got to the beech hedge. As far as I can tell its a mixture of purple and copper beech and some bits have thrived and others have not.

I have to say at this point I have the most fantastic gardener who comes in once a week and helps out (and is educating me by degrees!!!!)

Anyway I need about 50 beech hedging plants - I dont mind whether it is local (I live near Lincoln) or by mail order but I need them fairly soon so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

I had some hedging from these guys once, and the plants were fine:

I expect others will be along with further suggestions shortly.

Used the same people for beech hedging, apple trees and other plants. Would recommend them.

Thanks apple trees are next on my list, I have several trees that have suffered pretty badly from being left so I need to replant some as I go :rolleyes:

My usual supplier is based in Snitterby, not far from Caenby Corner - probably save you the delivery cost.
