An attractive, evergreen hedging tree, Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) has been planted in Britain for at least 400 years. Widely planted as a hedge, being particularly effective as a windreak in coastal locations, untrimmed, this tree will reach a final height of 28m (93ft). Of particular interest, is its interesting corrugated type bark and waxy-type leaves, which are green above and a fury-grey colour on the undersides. Young leaves have serrated or toothed edges and interestingly on older trees they become smooth. Benefits of using our plug plant trees Our Holm Oak hedging trees are sold as plug plants, in other words the roots are encased in compost. This means that planting can be carried out at any time of the year, provided they are watered in periods of drought, compared to bare-root plants which can only be planted during the plants normal dormant period (November to March). All of these trees are UK grown, which is important for successful establishment. Wholesale Tree Prices We will be more than happy to provide quotations on the supply of quantities of 500 or more trees. Please email us at info@trees-online.co.uk How many Common Beech trees do I need? We recommend planting 6 plants per metre using the double staggered hedge method, so this pack of 100 trees will cover a distance of 16m
Second line of hedging We recommend planting the second line of trees 25cm or 10 inches away from the first if using the staggered hedging approach and to consider buying 10% more than you need. Plant the spares elsewhere and you have immediate replacements for damaged or diseased trees. Mixing orders Some people want to make a small part of their order a different species e.g inserting dog rose every few trees. As we can touch our toes therefore proving we are flexible, we are happy to accommodate.
Please be aware the the urine extractors using the website will have their order refunded. All orders are human approved first and we are paying attention...mostly. Just mention at checkout what you require. For all hedging protection please view the Tree Extra section and if you are looking to plant lots of plug plant or cell grown trees (the 10-40cm-ish) size range then maybe you should consider our tree planting tool. Tree planting rates of over 700 per day achievable. Hedge Growth Rates For information on rates of growth please click "Hedge Growth Rates" Using Bark or wood chip mulch for hedging trees
If you are going to use bark or wood chip as a mulch for hedging trees, please be aware that mice like to use this as a nest/home/holiday treat/rental property for other mice. They like to eat the bark (especially Beech) and you are provided them a place to stay close to a food source. If you are going to use bark or wood chip as a mulch, periodically check for damage especially below the mulch layer. Alternatively use gravel or plastic sheeting as a method of keeping weeds down or you could try the legal route and serve them with a notice of eviction?
