Why plant an instant hedge?

• Shelter, reducing wind strength better than a solid barrier
• Filter: absorbing dust and noise
• Privacy: as an effective visual screen
• Security: a prickly hedge is a great deterrent
• Beauty and interest from seasonal changes
• Background texture and colour complement other plants
• Wildlife: food and shelter for insects, birds and mammals
• Weather-resistance: much better than fences or brickwalls
• Economy long term compared with fencing and brickwork
• Long-lived: hedges can last hundreds of years
