We've just recently had two trees come down in a storm on top of our 15
foot laurel hedge. I would prefer not to cut it all the way back, but
instead try to pull it back up.

So I have a couple questions...

1) Is there any concern about pulling it back (anyone have any
suggestions, tricks or tips)
2) If I do have to cut it back, where on the branches are the best
places to make the cuts (clost to the branches?)

Thanks
