The height of the hedge is usually irrelevant as the roots continue to grow
through the plant's life. The best bet is not to plant this type of hedge
in the first place.



I was quite gladdened to see in the December issue of The garden, the
fact that the new hedge height laws are applied to evergreens and semi
evergreens only so presumably you could have a 7 foot beech or hawthorn
hedge quite safely.
