Ich bin gerade in ein neues Haus gezogen, es ist Hampshire. Der Boden ist nicht gut abfließt und ist im Wesentlichen Ton, wenn wir uns ausgegraben haben. Vorbesitzer haben Lorbeerbüsche, die wir durch die native Hecken aus entfernen und ersetzen möchten. Nach einigen Ideen für die Höhe, blühende Büsche und um wild lebende Tiere zu fördern. Also, was ist dein Favorit und weißt du, ob es in Tonboden in Ordnung ist? Tia.

Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna): Thrives in heavy clay and blooms with white flowers in spring.
Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa): Tolerates compacted soils and produces white blossoms in early spring, followed by sloes.
Dog Rose (Rosa canina): Ideal for clay soil, offering pink summer flowers that attract pollinators.
Field Maple (Acer campestre): Displays vibrant autumn foliage and grows well in clay soil.
Viburnum: Produces clusters of flowers and berries, suitable for heavier soils
Though they will all likely do well in clay, there’s no harm in improving the soil with grit and compost before planting to give them a helping hand.
Hawthorn, blackthorn and holly
Cherry plum isnt totally native but its close enough 🤣
I bought a mixed pack of native hedging (bare root trees) from ashridge nurseries. Ordered online. Planted then at the end of winter a year ago. It came with quite a few species. We have heavy clay and this winter was very wet, but every single one survived.

Hawthorn and blackthorn seem like the best choice for wildlife
Second that Hawthorn will thrive and bloom in heavy clay. Deceptively beautiful imo. If you don’t want to deal with the pricks, or want some winter interest, I’d second the hornbeam suggestion.
