The Copse Pack contains 30
native trees which are suitable for planting as a small
wooded area or 'copse'. Your pack will be made up of: 10
of each - Birch, Rowan, Cherry
The spacing of the trees will depend on your individual
requirements and the area you have allocated for the
trees. However as a guide they can be planted from 2m
apart (for a very dense wooded area) up to 5m apart or
more. The wider the spacing the more room there will be
between the trees for the children to explore and it
will mean less thinning of the trees in future years.
These are all medium size trees and will generally need
more space than the hedgerow pack. |
The hedgerow pack
containing 30 plants. Your pack will be made up of: 6 of
each - Hawthorn, Hazel, Holly, Dog Rose and Dogwood
The trees can be planted as a traditional hedgerow and
provide an excellent habitat for wildlife.
If planted as a single row they should ideally be spaced
30cm apart, if they are going to be a thick double row
hedge then they should be planted 50cm apart and each
parallel row 40 - 45cm from the other. Therefore you
will need an area where you can plant the hedge that is
approximately 8m long.

Rowan shown with autumn berries, an excellent food source
for birds.
All three species will add additional interest and
colour and be of benefit to wildlife. The wild cherry
will give you fantastic white blossom in the spring. The
birch is dramatic throughout the year with its textured
white bark and the vivid berries of the rowan will give
you added interest in the autumn and the chance to make
rowan jelly!
