Straight from the grower
Straight from the grower
We have been growing our plants with great passion since 1976. We are therefore proud that the third generation is now at the helm of our family business. All plants and trees we supply come either directly from our own nursery or from fellow nurseries that work in partnership with Heijnen. Through our close cooperation with various skilled growers, plant importers and other professionals, we guarantee products that are as fresh and high quality as possible. What this means for you is healthy and beautiful plants and trees straight from the nursery at competitive prices.

Root type
Root type

A plant or tree can be delivered in a pot, with a root ball or with bare roots.

  • Pot: the advantage of plants grown in pots is that they can be planted all year round, with the exception of periods of frost. After planting, both the root system and the visible, above-ground parts of the plant/tree will continue to grow immediately, provided temperatures are high enough.
  • Root ball: plants and trees with (wired) root balls can be planted roughly between October and April, depending on the weather. During these months, the plants are dormant and at their least vulnerable, which is ideal for planting. Because the plants are freshly uprooted (dug up) at the growers, the root system may be somewhat damaged. Once planted, the plant/tree will first form new roots and will then continue to grow above ground.
  • Bare roots: plants and trees delivered with bare roots can be planted roughly between October and April, depending on the weather. During these months, the plants are dormant and at their least vulnerable, which is ideal for planting. Because the plants are freshly uprooted (dug up) at the growers, the root system may be somewhat damaged. Once planted, the plant/tree will first form new roots and will then continue to grow above ground. Because there is no sand on the roots, the plants are lightweight and therefore easy to carry.

Height at time of delivery (cm)

'Height without root ball' refers to the measurement of a plant or tree where the height is measured without taking into account the underlying root ball of roots and soil normally present when the plant is moved. When measuring height without root ball, only the visible part of the plant above ground, such as the trunk/stem, branches and leaves, is taken into account, while the root ball that is normally below ground is excluded from the measurement.

Height at time of delivery (cm)
Width at time of delivery (cm)
Width at time of delivery (cm)

Our plants can be ordered in different sizes. By width on delivery (cm), we mean the approximate width of the plant in centimetres when we deliver it to you.

The number of centimetres indicated refers to the widest part of the plant. It may not be as wide in other places, since it is a natural product and does not have standard dimensions.

Positioning
Positioning

By positioning, we mean the number of hours of sunlight at the spot where the plants are to be placed. There are three categories for this, namely:

  • Sun - more than 4 hours of sun per day
  • Partial shade - up to 4 hours of sun per day
  • Shade - less than 2 hours of sun per day

The type of soil is of minor importance in most cases, unless otherwise stated for the product.

Application
Application

By 'application' we mean how the planting can be used in the garden. In this, we distinguish between the possible applications below:

Border: also called a bed, this is a strip of ground (part of the garden) intended for planting. Due to the construction of paths, terraces and lawn, a garden often consists of multiple borders:

  • Group planting: plants that are at their best when placed together in small or large groups and can be easily combined with other garden plants if desired.
  • Edge planting: mostly low-growing plants that are suitable for use at the edge of borders and so provide a nice progression from low to tall plants.
  • Underplanting: mostly shade-loving plants that can be planted under large shrubs and trees.

Solitary: a plant (usually a larger shrub) that does best when planted alone and not with several of the same variety together. A solitary plant is a real eye-catcher and also provides 'body' to the garden. You place a solitary plant in a border in combination with (relatively) low-growing plants, for example.

Pot: a plant that grows well in a pot.

Planter: plants that are perfect for use in planters.

Hedge: plants that grow particularly tall and branch nicely through pruning. This makes them ideal for use as a natural screen (hedge). We offer hedge plants for both low and tall hedges.

Pergola: plants that are ideal for planting and growing against a pergola.

Fence: plants that can be grown against a fence or placed in front of a fence.

Wall: plants that can be grown against a wall or placed in front of a wall.

Trellis: plants that can be grown in a trellis to create more greenery and privacy in the garden.

Slope: plants that are ideal for planting on a slope.

This hedge plant is ideal for both low and high hedges, making it suitable for various garden designs.

Hornbeam Hedge: Plant Properties and Characteristics

The Carpinus betulus hedge, commonly known as the hornbeam hedge, is a deciduous plant that offers a lush green appearance throughout the growing season. This hedge plant is ideal for creating a low hedge or a front garden hedge, providing a natural barrier with its dense foliage. The leaves of the hornbeam hedge are green and have a smooth texture, contributing to its appealing look in any garden setting. For optimal growth, the hornbeam hedge thrives in various light conditions, including shade, partial shade, and full sun. This adaptability makes it a versatile choice for different garden environments. With a growth rate of 40-60 cm per year, the hornbeam hedge is considered a fast-growing plant, which can be enhanced with proper fertilisation. The mature height of the hedge depends on regular pruning, allowing gardeners to maintain the desired height and width. The hornbeam hedge exhibits an upright growth habit and becomes densely branched when pruned regularly. This characteristic ensures that the hedge becomes quickly sight-tight, offering privacy and a solid green backdrop. Regular trimming not only maintains its shape but also enhances its density, making it an excellent choice for hedging plants. For more information on deciduous hedges, visit the deciduoushedge page.

The Carpinus betulus hedge, commonly known as the hornbeam hedge, is a versatile choice for any garden. It is winter hardy, thriving in USDA zone 5a, and can withstand temperatures as low as -28.8°C. However, the timing of frost and the plant's location, including soil and wind conditions, can affect its hardiness. This hedge plant is adaptable to all well-drained soil types, making it suitable for various garden settings. It prefers moist soil conditions but can tolerate occasional dryness. Ensuring the soil is not waterlogged is crucial to prevent root rot.

Carpinus betulus is not only safe for gardens with children and pets, as it is non-toxic, but it also supports biodiversity. It attracts birds, bees, and butterflies, providing food and nesting opportunities. The plant blooms in April and May, showcasing green flowers that add subtle beauty to the garden. Its greatest ornamental value lies in its dense foliage, which offers privacy and can be easily shaped. This makes it an excellent choice for a low hedge or a front garden hedge. It combines well with other hedging plants, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the garden. When planting, the size of the Carpinus betulus at delivery determines the number needed per metre. Refer to plant properties for specific planting density. Consider adding a hedge plant to create a lush, green boundary in the garden.

  • Characteristics

Ideal placement of a Hornbeam

The Carpinus betulus hedge thrives in various conditions, making it a versatile choice for gardens. It grows well in both sun and shade, adapting to different light levels. The ideal spot for this hedge is in well-drained soil, which helps prevent waterlogging. This hedge plant benefits from a sheltered location, away from strong winds, ensuring healthier growth and vibrant foliage. Planting in nutrient-rich soil enhances its growth, resulting in a denser and more attractive hedge. The Carpinus betulus hedge is suitable for all soil types, provided they are well-drained. It can grow in both dry and moist conditions, but good drainage is essential. This hedge is perfect for creating a low hedge, a front garden hedge, or even a block hedge. Choosing the right location is crucial for the successful growth and bloom of hornbeam hedges.

Planting a Hornbeam

When planting the Carpinus betulus hedge, proper soil preparation is essential for growth. The soil should be well-tilled to improve water drainage and nutrient absorption. This step is crucial before planting, as it ensures the plants receive adequate nutrients and water. Mixing organic materials like compost into the existing soil can enhance growth. Pot-grown plants can be planted year-round, except during frost. Plants with a jute sack around the root ball can be planted with the sack intact. After planting, it's important to water the plants until they are well-rooted. The size of the plant at planting determines the number of plants per square metre. Soil preparation is key to successful planting. Follow the planting instructions for best results with Carpinus betulus hedge.

Pruning a Hornbeam

Pruning a Carpinus betulus hedge is essential to maintain its shape and health. Regular trimming helps the hedge stay dense and tidy, making it an attractive feature in any garden. Pruning also encourages new growth, which is beneficial for the overall health of hornbeam hedges. The best time to prune a Carpinus betulus hedge is late winter or early spring, before new growth begins. It is recommended to trim the hedge at least once a year, but twice a year is ideal for a low hedge or a front garden hedge. Use sharp tools like hedge shears or a pruning saw for clean cuts. Good tools are important to avoid damaging the hedge plant. For the best results, trim the hedge evenly and remove any dead or damaged branches. This ensures the hedge remains a strong and beautiful part of the garden.

Watering a Hornbeam

The Carpinus betulus hedge, also known as the hornbeam hedge, has a normal water requirement. It is important to water this hedge plant deeply rather than giving small amounts daily. This ensures the roots grow strong. The best time to water is early in the morning or late in the afternoon to reduce evaporation. Always check the soil to see if the hedge really needs water. The soil should be moist but not soggy. Make sure excess water can drain away, whether the hedge is in the ground or in a pot. For new hedging plants, use a hose or watering can until they are well-rooted. Drip irrigation systems work well once the plants are established. The hornbeam hedge is not highly drought-resistant, so regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods.

Fertilising a Hornbeam

Fertilising a Carpinus betulus hedge is essential for its growth and health. Regular feeding helps the hedge grow strong and vibrant, ensuring it remains a beautiful feature in the garden. Organic fertilisers are recommended as they prevent root and leaf burn, which can occur with chemical fertilisers. Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer are excellent choices for hornbeam hedges. Fertilising should be done twice a year, in spring and summer. The amount of fertiliser depends on the size of the hedge plant, but generally, a small handful per plant is sufficient. Nutrients are absorbed when rain or watering dissolves the fertiliser into the soil. During dry periods, it's important to water the garden after fertilising to help the nutrients reach the roots of the hedging plants. This ensures the Carpinus betulus hedge remains healthy and lush.

The characteristics of a Hornbeam

Carpinus betulus is a popular choice for creating a hedge in the garden. This plant is known for its dense foliage, making it ideal for a low hedge or a front garden hedge. Hornbeam hedges are appreciated for their ability to maintain leaves in winter, providing privacy all year round.
