dandan Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Guys, I am about to buy a load of plants for a hedge at the front of my house - I'm thinking of something like Pyracantha to keep any youths from jumping/leaning any where near it. Anyone here work in this line of business or point me in the direction of a decent supplier? Probably looking for about 11m long hedge and looking to buy (approx 30x) plants that are 800mm tall minimum. Cheers Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewie Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Pyracantha is a tad extreme for a roadside hedge. Try a laurel. I planted a 40 ft hedge about 4 years ago from 12" tall plants. Within 2 years, the hedge was 4 ft. Now it's 6 ft. Nice big leaves easy to trim. Do it yourself, go to any decent garden centre and shell out about £3/plant. Dead easy.

dandan Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 I am doing it myself for definite. Laurel is very nice but would not be the best choice for this particular job. I was just wondering if anyone here was a potential supplier of plants (maybe online/mail order type) rather than a more expensive garden centre. Managed to find 3ft tall plants for £5+vat so pretty happy now anyway. Should be in before next weekend along witha nice new gate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
