lows the hedge to thrive optimally.
During cutting, only the new an-
nual 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
maintained so the hedge does not be-
come too high.
