Description
Crataegus monogyna — Hawthorn — is a hedge with a very clear sense of purpose, having marked boundaries, fields and estates for centuries. Dense, thorny and thoroughly dependable, a hawthorn hedge takes its responsibilities rather seriously.
Hawthorn hedging establishes reliably and forms a thick, defensive boundary that offers privacy, shelter and a good deal of character. In spring it softens briefly with blossom, before settling back into dense green growth through summer and vivid berries in autumn. If you want a hedge that feels rooted in the landscape (and discreetly means business), hawthorn hedge plants are hard to beat.

How will my hedge arrive?
All our Hedging is supplied with a rootball wrapped in hessian as standard. Container grown options are also available out of season or upon request. We’ll be happy to discuss the best format for your needs before finalising your order.
Growing & Care
Hawthorn hedging is wonderfully unfussy. It grows well in most soils, copes with exposed conditions, and is happy in full sun or partial shade. During the first growing season, regular watering helps plants establish evenly, particularly along longer runs. Once settled, hawthorn requires little more than routine trimming to encourage dense, thorny growth and keep the hedge in good order.
Common Uses
Hawthorn is traditionally used for boundary hedging, shelter belts and security planting. Its dense habit and sharp thorns make it particularly effective where a hedge needs to deter as well as define. It’s equally at home in rural settings, larger gardens and wildlife-friendly landscapes, where its seasonal changes add interest as well as structure.
