Hedging/Shelter/Screening
A wide variety of hedging is commercially grown on site at Poles Cavan H12PN28. Below find details of each. It should be noted that the results or success one obtains is only as good as the soil they were planted in. Consideration should be given to Ph level, or lime content and Potassium and Potash levels. Soil test services are available locally by the same Labs which test water quality. Soil dept of 30/40 cm is adequate, providing land is free draining, planting on a raised drill is beneficial on damper heavier soil. Chill factor on sites can be overcome by correct choice of plant, ground preparation and sometimes a windbreck netting 1 mete high makes all the difference.

This deciduous plant from a distance looks remarkable like Green Beech, But, the soil requirements will allow it to be planted on sites, where beech is unsuitable due to poorer heavier soil, still providing that “beech look”, consequently has become popular with correctly dispensed knowledge.
