Irish Native Trees & Hedging

Irish Native Trees & Hedging

Rooted in Ireland, grown for the future

Our Irish Native Trees & Hedging collection brings together the original building blocks of Ireland’s landscape - native trees and hedgerow species chosen for their resilience, wildlife value, and long-term impact.

From hawthorn and hazel to birch, oak and rowan, these trees and shrubs support biodiversity at every level: providing blossom and pollen in spring, shelter and shade in summer, and fruit, nuts and berries through autumn and winter. Whether planted in a garden, along a boundary, on a farm, or as part of a rewilding project, native species help restore habitats and reconnect us with the land we live on.

Naturally adapted to Irish soils and climate, native trees are hardy, low maintenance, and rich in ecological value. They form vital food sources and shelter for birds, pollinators, and insects, while also strengthening soil health, improving water quality, and creating natural corridors for wildlife.

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.

Why choose native Irish trees?

• Irish provenance – locally grown and suited to Irish conditions

• High biodiversity value – food and habitat for birds, bees, and wildlife

• Resilient and long-lived – planting for the long term

• Versatile planting options – from small gardens to hedgerows and landscapes

Plant for today. Grow a legacy for the future.
