Foragers Hedging Collection
The Foragers Hedging Collection has been put together to attract humans and animals foraging for food. This incresingly popular pursuit is an affordable and sustainable way of sourcing unusual fruit as well as a fun and rewarding activity. Why not help foragers and the environment alike by planting these five hardy shrubs? You might even discover a new hobby, for once the 50-90cm (1’8-2’11) bareroots are established as a berry-rich hedgerow, how could you resist using Blackthorn’s produce to make sloe gin, or else tucking into a delicious, wild cherry tart? In addition to the feast it offers in the autumn, your hedge will flower from March to July and provide a dense screen or boundary throughout the season. The Foragers Hedging Collection includes Elderberry, Crab Apple, Wild Cherry, Sea Blackthorn and Blackthorn. Height: 12m (39′). Spread: 8m (26′). Planting distance: 45cm (1’6).
