Regular Firethorn hedging sizes

To create a hedge, we recommend planting two Firethorn plants per metre. After a couple of years, these will merge together to create a hedge length of 6m.

Each regular Firethorn (Pyracantha) is 125cm to 150cm cm tall by 30cm spread in a 10 litre pot. The minimum quantity for delivery is 12.

These bushes come in 36 litre pots which can be managed by one person. Two years of trimming will encourage the growth needed to create a solid evergreen security hedge.

We may have to trim down their tops before delivery if they are too tall to fit on a pallet. However they will soon grow back. Plus this pruning will help create bushier plants.

A prickly project?

If you wish to protect smaller nesting birds, or deter trespassers, we have a variety of hedging plants on offer. For more suggestions, please take a look at our Prickly hedging for security article.

Each Laurel hedge block has been growing in our fields for many years. They have been pruned twice a year to deliver incredible density and strength. Unlike a fence, they will not blow down and cannot be climbed over or pushed through.

Our root balled stock is available from November to March.
