Default New Beech Hedge



Thanks for the replies. I need a 100plnts to do about 75 feet. I'll
investigate the suggested websites now.

I don't understand why you need 100 plants? We sell beech bare-rooted and
recommend 3' between each plant. That's 25 plants. You're talking about
planting them mere inches apart, which seems a bit strange.
Dig a trench, pop them in and keep them well watered if we have any dry
spells.

I used the calculator on one of the websites suggested. I suppose the site
has a vested interest in exaggerating the number needed. I'll review it. I
thought I'd plant them out in a staggered formation, zig zag.
