To grow beech as a hedge, space plants from 25-45cm apart, depending on plant size and how quickly you want to achieve a dense hedge. For quick results, plant in a double staggered row with 30cm between the two rows.
Plant into well-cultivated weed-free ground, at the same depth as the plant was growing previously. Firm the soil well and water to settle soil around the roots.

During the first growing season, water beech during dry spells, giving a thorough watering twice a week.

We recommend  using shelter net for younger plants in exposed sites and a good quality slow release fertilizer (Four seasons) and compost (John Innes Multipurpose) when planting.
