Hi all, anywhere know where would be the best place to buy some bare root whitethorn hedge? either on-line or nursery? I'm based just outside Charleville Co. Cork.

Thanks in advance

Try this place. I found them very good.

Postal service works well and good healthy plants.

Update: I ended up getting them from a local supplier in Charleville, was nice to kepp the business local, got 60 plants for 50 euro and the were all at least 3ft-4ft tall so got a good deal, have to get more though turns out 60 wasnt enough

Hi

For 3ft - 4ft whitethorn that price isn't bad.

You should space them 1ft apart. and plant in a double row to give a thicker hedge

A year after planting whitethorn you are meant to cut it back to 10cm above ground level - this is also to encourage branching to make hedge thicker.

you can prune them back by up to a half on planting, for the same reason. If you do this you can also prune off a bit of the roots.
