Hedge Pruning Tips

• Prune early and often.
• Allowing plants to grow tall quickly and pruning later will lead to a sparse hedge.
• Regular light cuts keep hedges tidy and prevent them getting out of hand.
• Overgrown hedges are more expensive to prune and are difficult to bring back to the originally intended height, width and standard.
• Evergreen formal hedges should be pruned two to four times per year.
• Conifers such as leylandii will soon revert back to tree if not kept in check.
