    Hi, I planted my copper beech hedge as bare root plants 4 years ago ( this will be the fourth summer). After planting I took a third off their height and have taken off the top new growth every year in july, but they wont thicken & fill in at the bottom foot or so. I have tried feeding them with Chempak No2. Do you think they just need more time?

    Acerhead,

    I comiserate with you. I have been reliably informed that I have to replace my 8ft high hedge or cut it down to 1ft or so and let it re-grow. I think it may be a matter of time but then again i'm no expert [​IMG]
