The new Trafalgar Square Maze has been hitting the headlines.
Part of the famous Central London landscape turned lustrous green overnight with the installation of mature hedging grown by Northamptonshire based Rentahedge. The company grows mature hedging for permanent planting and temporary schemes using Air-Pot troughs, specifically designed for the production of consistent and vigorous hedging to create an instant impact and re-establish instantly in the landscape.
The plants grown for the Maze were Prunus Rotundifolia and they were delivered to site in purpose built metal planters. Other hedges for such mazes are Buxus Semp and Thuja Plicata.

Air-pruning pots
Significant gains can be made in terms of quality and environmental impact through the study of plant stress dynamics. In the root environment, for example, containers with punctured side-walls promote ‘air-pruning’ of roots as a result of stress; a technique that is increasingly being accepted for woody, nursery-stock plants.
