Tall hedging blocks nosy neighbours, breaks up prevailing wind and sculpts a garden into ‘rooms’. Evergreen or deciduous, there’s a tall hedging plant to suit every garden, big or small. Below we answer some FAQs to help you find the best tall hedging plants for your needs.
A very fast-growing tall hedge variety is pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Variegatum’ which grows three feet a year in the right conditions. These tall hedge plants have evergreen foliage with a much lighter effect than other evergreen varieties. The silvery variegated leaves are airy, and tiny deep magenta blooms appear in late spring.
Cherry laurel, AKA prunus laurocerasus rotundifolia, is a go-to hedge variety for low-maintenance gardeners. The glossy foliage stays on point all year round, needing very little attention and minimal pruning. Enjoy pretty white flowers in spring and decorative red berries in autumn. Start with a pre-grown cherry laurel ready bag hedge for an instant screen.
Tilia cordata or Lombardy Poplar reach maturity at 12m, as do White poplar and Quercus robur. These tree varieties make lovely hedging and really shine when planted along a roadside or flanking a drive to make a mature avenue of full size trees.
Choose a slow-growing variety like native yew if you’re worried about roots taking over. Yew grows steadily, creating a very thick cover which makes a great canvas for sculpting and topiary. Choose a clump-forming bamboo variety if you want to plant a tall bamboo hedge as the invasive types send out very tough runners that are hard to remove.
