Hedging suitable for colder areas in the North West

UK winters are becoming more varied with snow, rain and wind becoming more extreme so it’s more important than ever to choose the correct plants to survive. Below are a list of plants which will suffice. If you are struggling to find what you want, or there are not prices for a particular variety then get in touch with us on 01942 604976 or email us at hello@landscapingemporium.co.uk and we will endeavour to source them for you.

If you are struggling to work out what will grow, look around the immediate area where the hedge is to be planted and see what other trees and plants are growing. Native trees and shrubs tend to be best adapted for the area that you want to plant.
It would also be useful to think about wind tolerance and hedging which may provide winter interest or colour in winter.
