Native Hedging Mix

A mixed native hedge provides fantastic shelter for animals throughout much of the year while it also attracts an abundance of birds, bees and other wildlife. You will get a mix of plants including whitethorn (85%), dog rose 5%, hazel 5% and guelder rose 5% (Approximate percentage mix). These plants are sold as bare root plants. Our native hedging mix is sold as follows:

50 metres - 250 plants / 100 metres - 500 plants

​We have a wide range of other hedging plants for sale including Laurel, Beech, Box, Red Robin & more. Each year we grow thousands of hedging plants in our nursery. By producing these plants in the harsh West of Ireland climate, our plants become very hardy by sale time. We also partner with other premium Irish Nurseries to source different/unusual hedging plants. All of this enables us to provide you with top quality plants with strong, vigorous root systems. All of our hedging can be purchased online or at our nursery and is available for collection or delivery throughout Ireland. Remember a well chosen and well prepared spot will always result in a healthier hedge. Our experienced Doonwood Nurseries team can advise you on the best hedge for your particular situation so as to ensure you get the best results and are always happy to help.
