Hi there.

I have some beech trees at the back of my garden, which are part of a
continuous hedge which runs down behind the properties in the street. My
trees have obviously been left to develop and are now about 15-18m high.
All the growth is going upwards and I need to encourage growth lower down
and aslo fill a gap where some trees have been removed.

I have seen layering being done on TV and wondered if this could be done
with my trees. The trunk stems range from about 120mm to 300mm diameter.

Any advice anyone?

Davy
