growth and allows the hedge to thrive opti-
mally. During cutting, only the new annual
growths are reduced and thus a dense
branching and a good screen will develop.
• Cut the sides of a hedge first. To do
this, move the hedge trimmer in the
direction of growth from bottom to
top. If you cut down from the top, the
thinner branches will move out, which
may result in some areas having sparse
growth or holes.
• Cut the top edge, according to taste,
in a flat shape, roof shape or rounded
shape
• Trim young plants to the required
shape. The main growth should re-
main undamaged until the hedge has
reached the planned height. All other
shoots are lopped off to half size.
Care of Free-Growing Hedges:
Free-growing hedges are not shaped when
cut, although they must be regularly main-
tained so the hedge does not become too
high.
