The hedging in our scheme
Hawthorn
This thorny shrub with dense foliage makes a great hedge. Spring brings bright white and pink blossom, which is highly scented and loved by bees. In the autumn, the small leaves turn a pale yellow and there are deep red berries that feed birds during the winter months. A fantastic tree for wildlife, supporting over 300 different species of insects.
