Default Hedge layering

I have seen layering being done on TV and wondered if this could be
done with my trees. The trunk stems range from about 120mm to 300mm
diameter.


To big to lay I think. 50mm would be about the maximum. You part cut
through an upright then bend it over and weave it between the ends of
other uprights also cut and bent over. As the top section is still
partially connected to the root system it doesn't die but continues to
grow forming a very dense and stock proof hedge.
