Trimming shaped hedges
(Fig. D)
NOTE
Trim hedges in a trapezoidal shape
u
to prevent the lower branches from
becoming bare. This corresponds to
the plant's natural growth and allows
hedges to thrive optimally. Only the new
annual shoots are reduced during cutting
to allow dense branching and good
protection of privacy.
Trim plants while they are young to
u
achieve the desired shape. The main
shoot should be left intact until the hedge
has achieved the intended height. Cut all
other shoots to half their size.
1. Trim the sides of the hedge. To do so,
move the product from bottom to top in the
direction of growth. If you cut downwards,
thinner branches will move outwards which
may cause thin patches or gaps.
2. Trim the top edge as desired: straight, roof-
shaped or round.
Cutting free-growing hedges
Free-growing hedges are not to be trimmed
o
into shapes but still need to be regularly cut
to ensure they do not become too tall.
˜ Before operation

operation. This will guarantee long and reliable
use.
Search the hedges and bushes for foreign
o
objects, e.g. wire fences and hidden wires.
