Description
Sessile Oak Hedging Plants is a wonderful choice for a stand-alone tree or as part of a native hedge mix. The national tree of Wales and Cornwall this beautiful tree has large light green leaves in spring becoming darker green as the seasons move on and then turning deep brown in the Autumn. It is quite happy to grow on thin poor soil and is wind resistant. Sessile oak is a fast-growing tree. Growing around 30-40cm per year. English Oak is extremely wildlife friendly. Providing not just habitat and shelter, but a food source in Autumn in the form of acorns. Oak makes a super addition to a native wildlife hedge – simply mix in with other native species. We recommend 5 plants per metre in a double zig-zag row for a thick hedge, but you can get away with 3-4 per metre in a staggered row if you don’t mind waiting an extra year or two to form a thick hedge. Keep them well watered – especially in the Spring and Summer in the first year of planting. If you are not sure how many plants you need or which varieties suit your garden please just contact or call us and we will be happy to offer friendly advice!.
