Rootballed Corylus avellana
Hazel Hedging
A hardy UK native deciduous hedge with attractive green foliage, early spring catkins and edible hazelnuts, ideal for wildlife-friendly, rural and mixed native boundaries.
Corylus avellana, commonly known as Hazel, is a traditional British native species particularly well suited to informal hedging, countryside boundaries and wildlife-friendly planting. Its rounded, softly textured green leaves create a dense leafy hedge through the growing season, while distinctive yellow catkins provide valuable interest towards the end of winter and into early spring.
Hazel is particularly valuable for wildlife, providing early pollen, dense shelter and autumn nuts. It can be planted as a single-species informal hedge or combined with other native plants to create a diverse mixed native boundary.

Why Buy Rootballed Hazel?
Rootballed Corylus avellana is field-grown and lifted with a substantial ball of soil retained around its root system.
This allows larger, more established Hazel plants to be supplied where greater initial height, structure and impact are required, making them particularly useful for substantial boundaries and larger landscape planting schemes.
Available Sizes
Rootballed Hazel is available in a range of heights, subject to seasonal nursery availability.
Larger plants provide greater immediate structure, while smaller sizes can offer an economical solution for longer boundaries and mixed native planting schemes.
How Many Plants Do I Need?
Plant spacing depends upon the size selected, whether Hazel is being planted as a single-species hedge or as part of a mixed native hedge, and the density required.
Our hedging guide will help you calculate the appropriate number of plants for the length of your proposed hedge.
