Beech is one of Britain’s most iconic native trees, often used for hedging due to its stunning copper-orange autumn leaves that stay on the branches right through winter. This natural leaf retention provides excellent privacy and screening all year round, making it a popular choice for boundaries.

In folklore, the Beech tree is known as the “tree of wishes,” and it certainly earns its reputation — growing into a magnificent specimen, reaching up to 40 metres at full maturity. Beech hedging is equally rewarding, forming dense, attractive lines when regularly trimmed.

• For a single row hedge, plant 4 saplings per metre
