Hedge growth - what time of year?
I'm drastically cutting back an overgrown hedge. Can I expect it to grow more leaves this time of year, or does it do this only in spring?
If it matters, someone called it a Rhododendron, although I thought they had lots of flowers and mine doesn't. It does look a bit like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...k_-_591783.jpg If necessary I can take a picture of mine. -- Always talk to your wife while you're making love -- if there's a phone handy. |

A couple of pics would help, one like the one you showed and one closer up showing a few leaves and the bud at the end of a stem would help. If you cut back now it will throw new shoots, but they will be soft going into winter so will me more prone to damage if we have a hard winter. Also saying where you are would help, different for Cornwall as opposed to Scotland. |

I just want to know how long before it greens over as I've cut it back severely and I can now see through it.
