My 2 metre high mature escollonia screening hedge is badly damaged after the 2 cold winters and also has lost most of its leaf from severe leaf spot. If I cut it back will it resprout or what is the best replacement that will grow fairly fast and can be mantained at a height of about 2 metres.
I have a 30yd 7ft high erscollonia screening hedge. During the summer the leaves developed a black spot and turned partially yellow. Leaf drop then occurred and the hedge has now lost about 75% of its leaves. As I wish to mantain the screen, how can I get the leaves growing again?
Is there still time to prune Bramley and Coxs Pippin apple trees planted last Spring.
