Forthcoming legislation on large trees
In article , Nick Maclaren
writes | A word of caution - if you miss cutting a hawthorn hedge for a year, you | can no longer do it with a hedge trimmer, you need a saw as well. Oh, come now! Hawthorn is not a fast growing plant, though it has hard wood, and 2 year old shoots are FAR too thin to need a saw! A pair of pruners is the most you would need, and you would rarely need more than secateurs. Well, I know that sounds logical! But I need a saw for the upright bits, and I don't think we've left it more than a year. But may be it's that one gets a greater urge to reduce the height of the hedge a bit if it's been left too long? I still think it's a lot easier in the long run to cut regularly. Whoever invented nasty prickly hawthorn hedges has a lot to answer for ;-) -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/garden/ |
