Anyone got any suggestions?
http://i59.tinypic.com/vdegpw.jpg The hedge had been allowed to get out of hand for a few years by the previous owners, so we have reduced height by a foot, and are wondering whether to thin it out a little in the Spring. Maybe those bare stalks will sprout leaves if the top is kept trimmed? Any advice appreciated |

No problems with your link, and as to the hedge, privet will take as much hacking about as you want to give it. Even if you cut it to within a few inches of the ground it will grow back, they should sprout from the bare stems with no problems. David @ at what is for now a rain free side of Swansea Bay |

The problem is that it uses one of the damn-fool mechanisms to enable some software to display the contents automatically. There are several of them, they work only with their favoured software, and make things harder for everyone else. No problems with your link, and as to the hedge, privet will take as much hacking about as you want to give it. Even if you cut it to within a few inches of the ground it will grow back, they should sprout from the bare stems with no problems. More so! It should be cut back quite a long way beyond where you want the final hedge boundary to be, as it tends to sprout from the cut tips and not from the length of the bare stems. In extremis, cutting it back to a few inches (as you say) will help - if doing that, it is worth cutting its new shoots every 6-12" to encourage it to bush out. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Tinypic used to be the way to do this, but maybe no longer Yup - it was just the way you presented the link -- http should be start letters to tell our machines it is a link - none of this img stuff works - lol With regards to the hedge(privet) - you will never get it looking right by fiddling with the top as little new growth will come from the bottom half in height of it. It will end up looking like an elongated poodles tail !! Chop the whole down to Three /Four ins of the ground and you will eventually end up with a proper hedge again at a growth in height rate of about 24 ins per annum. There are lots of temporary barrier systems that you use over the next year or so to create a temporary boundary whilst the privet regrows. Regards Pete |

Yes that's right: wider at the bottom than at the top, that's all. Sorry should have made that clearer. Enjoy your chopping in whatever style - the sooner the better whilst in dormancy - imho. Agreed: the weather is lousy, but the days are growing longer (hoorah!)

Four years ago I decided that I didn't particularly want the privacy this offered as I have plenty of taller shrubs behind it so I cut it down to three foot with the intention of allowing it to grow to about five foot which is much more manageable. http://rance.org.uk/hedge.jpg I inherited this hedge about thirty years ago but it was originally planted back in the 1930s. Some of it loses its leaves in the winter and some doesn't, which is why it looks a bit thin in places now (I took the photo this morning) but in the summer it is very thick and neat - and much easier to trim!

The way this thread had degenerated makes it more like a look into a kindergarten, Who cares who posted what first or did someone post a jpeg. If they tried to post a jpeg then nothing would show on the site, I saw a link which opened.
