tilimangro 1,013 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 They will bush out for a bit but still grow up mate just a bit behind those not snapped 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CushtyJook 1,097 Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 My plan was to keep the hedge at around ten feet tall and neatly trimmed any way I wanted them to be bushier on the base however these ones that have been snapped have always Been smaller as under a few tree branches and do not get enough light I might move them this winter and replace with laurels anyway and move them back into the lighter areas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,592 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 They will keep growing but should be bushier you aim to stop them 6 inches under your maxium height so they cover the cut Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hear his favourite party trick is the white eared elephant lol, but as far as the conifers are concerned, give them a tidy up with a clean sloping cut 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
