New Yew Hedge - Cutting Back
I've just planted a new yew hedge, consisting of 30 pot-grown plants
about 18" - 2' high. Should I cut back the plants now, or leave it till next spring? And how much should I cut them back? They've got about 2-3" of new growth on them, but I know Yew can be cut back to old wood. As I only want the developed hedge to be about 3' tall, I want to ensure good growth right down to the base of each plant, which I guess is going to be down to some effective pruning in the first few years. Thanks Neil |
