Hi gardeners!

I want to make a hedge to shelter my veggie patch from the wind. I am
thinking of using Hornbeam and growing it to about 6ft high. Does this
sound sensible? What other alternatives should I look at.

Finally, where's the cheapest place to obtain hornbeam? Is it worth looking
at cuttings? How long would they take to get to 6ft from cuttings?

If you want mail order, try Buckingham's which sell 1.5 - 2 foot
hornbeam for 47p each (cheaper in quantity) .
