Plant beech hedges in autumn
Autumn is the best time to plant for almost all trees and shrubs. The soil is then well moist so that the young roots do not dry out.
The best time to plant a beech hedge is late autumn. This applies above all to bare-root beech trees and self-propagated trees.
If necessary, you can also set the beech trees for the hedge on a frost-free day in early spring. But then you have to water frequently, whereby waterlogging is to be avoided at all costs.
