Recently planted a bare root copper beech hedge, at a 100 metres in total and set out with the typical guidelines of 18 inches apart, compost used etc. The next step is to figure out how and when to prune this particular type of hedging? The bare roots themselves are approx a foot and a half above ground level and were planted over a week ago. I would appreciate any pruning suggestions you may have.Look forward to hearing from you...

Hi Gerry. I have just built my dream home in the country on a large (3/4 acre) site. We laid the lawns last year but don't know what to do with the boundry ditches as they are covered in brambles. Any low cost suggestions?
