Description
This Wild Fruit Hedge Eco Kit will create a hardy, living, and nourishing hedge without breaking the bank. Comprising 6 bare-root shrubs and trees, this kit is ideally planted in autumn for better growth in spring. An interesting option to promote local wildlife by attracting birds and pollinators while adding a pleasant ornamental touch to the garden. One will create a hedge 5 to 7 metres long depending on the planting density.
The kit includes:
1 x Flowering Cherry Plum - Prunus cerasifera: This ornamental tree reaches 4 to 5 m in height, offering abundant white flowering in March-April. Its small red fruits are appreciated by birds in late summer.
1 x Wild Pear - Pyrus pyraster: a vigorous tree of 8 to 10 m, with white flowering in spring and decorative small green to yellow-brown fruits in autumn, highly valued by wildlife.
1 x Bird Cherry - Prunus avium: this majestic tree of 12-15 m high displays white flowers in spring and edible but bitter red cherries that birds love in summer.
1 x Cornelian Cherry - Cornus mas: a bush 3 to 5 m high, adorned with yellow flowers from February, followed by edible red fruits in autumn.
1 x Wild Apple - Malus sylvestris: reaching 8 to 10 m in height, this tree blooms in pinkish white in spring. It produces small sour green apples in late summer, for jam or to feed wildlife.
1 x Black Chokeberry - Aronia melanocarpa: a bush 1.5 to 3 m high, with beautiful white flowers in May followed by black berries rich in antioxidants in late summer. It is very decorative in autumn with its purple foliage.
Preferably plant these bushes in autumn or early winter, in full sun or partial shade, mixing them and spacing them about 1 metre apart. They thrive in well-prepared garden soil, enriched with leaf compost to help them establish. Once well established, they generally do not need watering in summer. Due to its height, this hedge should not be planted between two properties (a boundary hedge must not exceed 2 m in height). Plant it at the countryside boundary.
Tip: only prune minimally to fully enjoy the flowering and fruits that will feed the garden birds in winter. Intervene only occasionally, to limit tree overcrowding or remove dead wood.

Planting and care
Plant this kit in full sun or partial shade, in a well-prepared, ordinary soil, enriched with leaf compost, moist but well-drained. Dig planting holes of 30-40 cm in all directions, loosening the bottom and walls well with a fork or pickaxe. Maintain a planting distance of about 1 m between each bush. These easy-to-grow, undemanding, bushes only need mulching in summer in dry climates to maintain some moisture, at least during the first summers following planting. Water them abundantly in the first years in case of pronounced drought (15-20 litres of water each time) but spaced out. Avoid pruning that compromises flowering and fruiting, unless a bush becomes too large. Remove dead wood in spring.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
