Just trimmed my headge.

It now has loads of dead bits along the sides.

Will these grow back or is it knackered forever, if its knackered I

think
I'll just hack the lot down.

Many Thanks

Conifers don't generally put new growth out from old wood. So cutting into
the sides of your Leylandii hedge has forever exposed brown wood.


I think if you cut it all back to the brown though, it will all grow out
green, won't it? You've just got to be a bit harsher and allow for the fact
that it will have to expand as it grows.
