Many other trees and shrubs can also be used, either on their own or as part of a mixed hedge, to mark a boundary or create divisions within a garden. For example, Amelanchier has spring flowers and lovely autumn colour. The purple plum, Prunus pissardii, can be clipped to form a purple leaved hedge. Acer ginala has deep, eyecatching autumn foliage. Olearia numurillifolia is a slow but neat, tough evergreen. Hydrangeas make a colourful seaside hedge and Phormium tenax will cope with extreme coastal winds. These are just some suggestions, we are happy to advise.
