Native Hedgerow Mixes

Native Hedgerow Mixes

Our Native Hedgerow Mixes are carefully designed to create living boundaries that support wildlife, provide shelter and privacy, and reflect the character of Ireland’s traditional landscape.

Each mix brings together complementary native trees and shrubs, chosen for their resilience, biodiversity value, and suitability for Irish conditions. Whether you’re planting a neat, manageable hedge for a garden boundary or a taller, more natural hedgerow for a farm or rural setting, these mixes make it easy to plant native with confidence.

Native hedgerows offer year-round benefits — from spring blossom for pollinators, to dense summer cover, and autumn berries and nuts for birds and mammals. They also help protect soil, filter air and water, and create vital wildlife corridors across gardens and farmland.

Which hedgerow mix is right for you?

• Easy-Cut Hedgerow Mix – designed for regular trimming and a tidy, compact hedge

• Traditional Hedgerow Mix – a layered mix of trees and shrubs for a taller, more natural hedge

• Forager’s Hedgerow Mix – native species selected for blossom, fruit, and traditional foraging

Each mix is supplied as bare-root plants and clearly labelled with planting and management guidance to help you choose the option that best suits your space and goals.

Trees or hedging - what’s the difference?

Many native Irish species can be grown either as trees or as hedging, depending on how they are planted and managed.

• Hedging is created by planting trees and shrubs closely together and managing them through regular pruning. This creates a dense, lower boundary ideal for privacy, shelter, and wildlife corridors.

• Trees are planted with more space and allowed to grow naturally, forming individual features, garden woodlands, or avenues over time.

Species such as hawthorn, hazel, rowan, crab apple and wild cherry are commonly used in both ways. The key difference is spacing and aftercare, not the species itself.

Our mixes and individual plants are clearly labelled to help you choose the option that best suits your space and goals.
