Leylandii was shown to be the best filter of particulates according to a study from the Universities of Southampton.and Sussex and were 40% better at capturing particulate matter than the native trees tested due to the ‘finer, more complex structure of their foliage’.

Late spring or early summer is the best time to trim most hedges including laurel and leylandii hedges. You can prune a laurel hedge...

You can plant container or pot-grown hedging plants at any time of year as long as you water any that are planted during the growing season

During winter and early spring, you can plant rootballed hedging plants. These are plants that are grown in a field (rather than in pots) and are dug with a ball of soil around the roots. They are then wrapped in hessian and can be planted as they are to form a hedge. Once plants start to grow, they can no longer be dug from the field so we have to stop selling rootballed plants. 

We have enjoyed our winter break and our now back in full swing on the nursery.  January is a busy time for us – we have lots of orders of hedging plants to send out all over the UK as winter is a good time to plant. 

Yes, you can plant hedges in the winter. You can plant bare-root, root-balled or pot-grown hedging as long as you can get a spade in the ground!  Generally, in most parts of the UK, it rarely freezes for long enough to freeze the ground for more than a day or two.
