Lawson Cypress
Hi
I wondered if this conifer is suitable for a hedge I have a front lawn about 17ft long and would like some sort of hedge along the edge of it. My local garden centre is selling these off at 3 for £10. Does any green fingered person out there know how high, tall and wide this conifer grows to and if it would be suitable.Also would I need to do anything to the soil when planting.Is this the right time of year to plant ??Any tips greatly received.Thanks in Advance. |

There is a lot of prejudice against it but, fact is, you are in charge. It will grow as high, tall and wide as you want it to. If you can control the height of your grass, then you can control your hedge. -- ned http://www.bugsandweeds.co.uk last update 10.09.2005 |

You said Lawson Cypress. Well this is it. http://www.domtar.com/arbre/english/p_chlaw.htm Make sure that you have the correct description of your intended purchase. Have a good read of the label and a chat with the seller before you decide. Regards, Emrys Davies. |

DONT is the best advice anyone can give Lawsons are not really suitable for a hedge you cant trim them easily as its all too easy to cut back into bare wood and they dont take kindly to topping Unless your lawn is otherwise large you will soon find the grass dying Plant Pyracantha or Escallonia or Photinia Red Robin or Eleagnus (variegated ) or a mix of them all for an interesting hedge full of colour and food for the birds |
