A word of caution - if you miss cutting a hawthorn hedge for a
year, you can no longer do it with a hedge trimmer, you need a
saw as well.
Oh, come now! Hawthorn is not a fast growing plant, though it has
hard wood, and 2 year old shoots are FAR too thin to need a saw!
A pair of pruners is the most you would need, and you would rarely
need more than secateurs.
Well, our hawthorn grew 3 feet last year. Whether you need pruners,
secateurs or a saw, I wouldn't want to have to tackle two years
growth, one snip at a time.
