Info - Container grown, Bareroot & Rootballed plants. 

Bareroot -  plants that come with no soil or compost on their roots. These are available November to March and are a very cost effective product. The plants will come wrapped in a black plastic bag. This should be removed immediately on delivery and the plant roots watered thoroughly. The plants can be placed back into the bag until you are ready to plant them. Please keep the roots covered over. If for any reason you cannot plant them for several days just make sure the plant roots are kept moist and the roots are covered over. Bareroot plants are a very cost effective way to buy your hedge. Bamboo cane marks the 'soil mark' on the stem. Do not plant deeper than this line.

Container grown - these plants are grown in plastic container pots and are available for planting all year round. The pots are okay for re-cycling. Best to buy for all year round planting or where soil depth is poor. Bamboo cane marks the 'soil mark' on the stem. Do not plant deeper than this line.
 

Rootballed - plants that come with a soil rootball around the roots. These plants are grown in fields and dug up with the soil around them to help with establishment. The rootball comes wrapped in a bio-degradable sack/bag and this should be left on when planting. Rootball plants are renowed for being very robust specimens and offer a good   compramise between price and quality. Bamboo cane marks the 'soil mark' on the stem. Do not plant deeper than this line.
