Rootballed plants:
Rootballed Hedging plants are available in bigger sizes from October through to April (weather dependent). These plants are grown in bigger sizes going up to 3 metres in height.
The plants are lifted during their dormant period. This reduces the amount of stress imposed on the plants and increases the chances of successful re-establishment.
Plants are lifted to order to minimise the time they are stored out of the ground before replanting.
Although rootballed plants may seem expensive, many of these plants will be between 5+ years old and will have been root pruned and trimmed many times before they are lifted.
Rootballed Hedging plants tend to be bushier than pot grown plants as they have been out in the field and more exposed to the elements. They are lifted from the field using specialist machinery and the soil rootball is hessian wrapped to protect it.
