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.

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'm in Scotland, but it's a very tough hedge, unlike the evergreen ones that all died out.

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.

Here are two pictures of it (the bit I've not cut yet obviously):

Usually takes about 6 weeks if its cut to the point where there are no
leaves left.

6 weeks will be fine. So it does actually grow at this time of year? I thought maybe it would grow in spring only.

Oh not another person with that malwarebytes crap? It's a jpeg image which cannot possibly be harmful. Only executable files are harmful.

Opened OK with me, no mention of malware etc. I'm using Kaspersky AV
and Dangerous Website Blocker, Bitdefender Traffic Light, and WOT (Web
Of Trust).

It's Anti-malwarebytes or whatever you call it. It thinks everything is harmful. As I said, a jpeg simply cannot be harmful. It's completely impossible.

Perhaps you need to look at this.
