Hazel Plants - Planting Instructions

Sowing Time

  • Bare root hedging is planted in the dormant season - October to March
  • Avoid frosty conditions, where the ground is frozen

Trench Preparation

  • Dig trench approx. 2ft wide & 2ft deep
  • It is recommended that you add farm yard manure to base of the trench
  • Lightly cover the manure with a layer of soil

Positioning Plants

  • Space plants 30cm apart
  • Stagger planting positions for a denser hedge
  • When planting - hold plants at ground level & back fill the top soil
  • Ensure each plant is straight & soil is compacted in around it's root ball
  • Level off the soil around the plants

Handling the Plants

  • Watering is essential - Both before & after planting
  • When plants arrive, plant them straight away
  • If you are unable to plant straight away - then 'heel them in' temporarily
  • Keep plant's roots in their bag & avoid exposure to sun light
  • Take care not to damage roots, bark & buds

After Care

  • Water bare roots plants regularly until plants establish
  • Water before & after planting
  • If dry weather persists, water every 2 days
  • Weeding is also essential - especially bind weed which can quickly smoother a young hedge
  • A new hedge will need to be weeded at least 3 time over the growing season
    • Weed in March, June & September
    • We recommend using weed membrane & mulch to control weeds

Pruning

  • Hazel is pruned back hard every few years
  • Prune all stems down to ground level
  • This encourages vigorous growth of new stems
  • This will result in a hazel plant up to 2m in width

Hazel - Quick Facts

  • Nuts appear in September & can be harvested from then onwards
  • They are a food source for mice, pigeons, pheasants & squirrels
  • A hazel plant can support up to 73 different insect species
  • Hazel is one of the most common plants found in woodlands & hedgerows
  • One hazel tree cannot pollinate itself, so you would need two plants growing together to get nuts in Autumn
