Firethorn Hedges
Pyracantha Hedges are perfect for security as an intruder deterrent. It also therefore requires some care when pruning and the use of some thick heavy duty gloves is recommended when handling. A thick, bushy, very spiny & quick growing evergreen shrub. Pyracantha hedges can reach up to 12 foot in height depending on conditions. Very useful as a barrier hedge with thorns reaching 3cm in length. Pyracantha is easy to grow in most soils in sun or shade, though the creamy white flowers produced in early summer and berries produced in autumn will be more profuse if grown in full sun. Pyracantha is best pruned at least twice annually as a formal hedge, in spring and summer. An excellent choice for an evergreen security hedge.

Rootballed 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. Rootballed plants are lifted during the plants dormant period. This reduces the amount of stress imposed on the plants and increases the chances of successful re-establishment. Plants are also lifted to order to minimise the time they are stored out of the ground before replanting. Although rootball plants may seem expensive many of these plants will be between 6-15 years old and will have been root pruned and trimmed many times before they are lifted. Rootball 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. This protective wrapping should be left on at planting and will naturally bio degrade.
