Anybody seen the freshly cut hedge near the top of Ings Way? What a mess, sounds like so called 'Tree Surgeons'in Airedale only know how to amputate branches.Don't think I'll ever use them!!! |

Any decent hedge cutting must take an old tired hedge back to the bare branches to stimulate new growth. Just wait, in 6 weeks time it will put the other hedges in that area to shame. |

If the hedge in question is the one I saw this morning, don't worry about it. It will regenerate very quickly, one of the best ways to treat a beech hedge, give it a blooming good hair cut. The growth will take time to cover the trim, but it will do the hedge nothing but good long term, will also stop it from getting out of hand and keep it a good shape. |

Beech, like most hedging species does need cutting back hard every now and then. It is too late in the year to be done now. As a qualified hedge layer, we where taught only to lay hedges from October to February. This is because of the various bird species that nest and fledgeling their young in our native hedgerows. |

A quick thought, don't try this with conifers. Cutting into old wood has the reverse effect. They do not regenerate from old wood and will just suffer die back. |

I don't know what the hedge is can anyone help. Some need to pruned back quite hard and then come back the following year. Once the growing season starts you should be able to see if the new growth is going to bring back the hedge. |

I've seen a mature Oak tree crowned in a similar manner. This is to allow a more even growth pattern.It looks half dead but will revive it just takes time especially with slow growing trees and bushes. |
