Growing this deciduous, native plant as a boundary means you can enjoy the joyous sight of spring sunlight filtering through its newly-emerged, translucent foliage. We love it and think it’s one of the hightlights of the season. But beech hedging has many other virtues: it is relatively tough and easy to grow (given well-drained soil) and will soon thicken up into a dense, verdant screen, no matter what location. Although it loses many leaves in winter, some are retained, rustling in the branches; we like this feature as it adds dynamic seasonal interest and helps ensure some degree of continued privacy. You can plant Fagus sylvatica as a boundary along the front of your house and keep it tightly clipped for a formal touch, or allow it to be slightly looser in more relaxed parts of the garden. And it need not be planted as a straight line; on a grand scale, think of the incredible serpentine beech hedge at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. We’ve also seen it used together with copper beech to form an interesting two-tone effect. This plant holds an Award of Garden Merit (AGM) from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) which is given only to the best garden plants.
