Cutting tips
- Please remember the breeding season of birds!
- The ideal shape for hedge cutting is trapezoidal,
which allows enough light and air to reach all parts
of the hedge.
- To promote thick growth in young hedges new
shoots should only be shortened by half.
- If the hedge has already reached your desired
height, now shoots can be completely removed.
- To obtain a uniform hedge height, you can tension
a guide line at the desired height and then cut
along this line.
