Pruning beech trees for hedging
Help....I am a complete novice when it comes to gardening. I have
quite a few beech trees which i am growing for a hedge around my garden. The trees are about 2 years old and about 3ft tall. My question is, how and when do i need to prune them to make them bushy and more hedge like. Currently they are growing well but have long bits on top. Hope this makes sense, If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be grateful |
