Bare Root Hedging (Quick-thorn)?

587 Posts

I am hoping to get some quick thorn hawthorn to grow on the perimeter of the back garden, are bare-root plants any good and what should i do upon receiving them, i heard you need too put them in water first but i'm not sure.
Enjoy everyday like it's your last!

You probably want to think about how big you want the plants to be - you need to cut them down by roughly 50% when you first get them in order to make sure that they thicken up from the bottom.
See what the roots look like when they arrive. If dry pop them in water as they are. Then if the weather isn't right for planting straight away heel them into a flower bed until it is.
Perfect time to plant. Looking at the vagaries of winter weather take the oportunity to dig the planting area as soon as suitable so it will be an easy job when the weather picks up.
