    Anyone had any experience in buying mature beech hedging. Looking at the instant hedging root ball variety as I can't invest the time for bare root to knit together.

    2 suppliers in particular have caught the eye, M&M and Derrylea.

    Anyone any experience of these or other suppliers of mature hedging, if paying top dollar I want to be sure I don't get a raw deal.

    Thanks

    Patience is a virtue. Be aware that there will be a lot of maintenance for a few years until the more mature plants settle in, watering during the summer being a must, and would be surpassed by bare root 90-120's within 5-10 years. Instant impact is just that and is not really for the long term.
