Planting a native Irish hedge is an excellent way to create a natural boundary while providing valuable food, shelter and habitat for wildlife. Our native hedging plants are suitable for farms, gardens, field boundaries, biodiversity projects and larger planting schemes throughout Ireland.
Mixed native hedging combines complementary Irish hedgerow species to create a strong, diverse hedge with seasonal flowers, berries, foliage and shelter. It is an ideal choice where biodiversity and a natural appearance are as important as creating an effective boundary.
Native hedgerows are an important feature of the Irish landscape. As well as defining boundaries and providing shelter, a mixed native hedge can support a wide range of birds, pollinating insects and small mammals.
Different species provide benefits at different times of year. Spring flowers provide food for pollinators, dense summer foliage creates shelter and nesting habitat, while berries and other fruits provide valuable food during autumn and winter.
Using a mixture of native hedging plants also creates greater diversity than planting a hedge made from a single species.
A traditional mixed native hedge can contain species such as Whitethorn (Hawthorn), Blackthorn, Hazel and Holly, along with other suitable native hedging plants depending on the planting mix and availability.
Whitethorn is particularly useful as a main structural component because it develops into a dense, thorny and hardy hedge. Other species can be mixed through the planting to increase biodiversity, seasonal colour and wildlife value.
If you’re specifically looking for a traditional Hawthorn hedge, you can also view our Whitethorn Hedging Plants.
A mixed native hedge can become a valuable habitat as it matures. Dense branches provide shelter and nesting opportunities for birds, while flowers support bees and other pollinating insects.
Berries, nuts and fruits produced by different native species provide seasonal food sources, while the hedge itself creates a protected wildlife corridor through gardens, farms and the wider landscape.
For larger planting projects, combining native hedging with suitable native trees can further increase habitat diversity.
Most bare-root native hedging plants are planted between November and March while the plants are dormant.
Bare-root planting is particularly cost effective when establishing longer stretches of hedging because larger numbers of young plants can be planted relatively economically.
Plants should be planted as soon as practical after delivery, and bare roots should be protected from drying out before planting.
Good preparation is important when establishing a new native hedge. Remove competing grass and weeds from the planting area and loosen compacted soil before planting.
Young native hedging may also require protection from rabbits, deer or livestock depending on the planting location.
Early pruning can encourage young native hedging plants to branch and develop into a thicker hedge. Once established, the hedge can be managed at the height and width required for the site.
Avoid disturbing active bird nests when carrying out hedge maintenance. Allowing some flowers and berries to develop will also increase the value of the hedge for wildlife.
Native hedging is a hedge planted using species that occur naturally in Ireland. Mixed native hedging usually combines several complementary species to create a diverse, wildlife-friendly boundary.
Common choices include Whitethorn (Hawthorn), Blackthorn, Hazel and Holly. The exact mixture can vary depending on the site, purpose of the hedge and plant availability.
Bare-root native hedging is normally planted during the dormant season from November to March.
Yes. A mixed native hedge can provide flowers for pollinators, berries and other food for birds, dense nesting habitat and shelter for a wide variety of wildlife.
Yes. Native hedging is particularly well suited to farms and rural boundaries and has traditionally been used throughout the Irish landscape for shelter and boundary definition.
Yes. Suitable native trees can be incorporated at intervals through a native hedge where there is sufficient space, adding height, structure and additional habitat value.
