Cutting a copper beach hedge

QuestionsCutting a copper beach hedge
Brian Rochford Staff asked 14 years ago

In a previous message I asked if cutting back the top/new growth of a copper beach hedge will help it to thicken at the base. I belive your answer was no. All the other advise I received from garden centres suggested I cut back the new growth in late July to encourage more growth further down? Does this make sense… I need/want the hedge to thicken and not grow any higher than 5 feet. Currently the plants are young 4 ft plants……
