MONTY’S JOB OF THE Week

It is safe now to trim hedges in the knowledge that the majority of nesting birds have fledged. Summer pruning results in slower, less vigorous regrowth than a winter trim so clip hedges to the height and shape that you wish them to remain for the rest of the year. Start with the sides, making sure you have a slight ‘batter’ or outward slope from the top to the bottom. This ensures that the lower section is not shaded by the top growth, which is always more bushy as it gets more light. To trim the top, use a string strung between canes as a guide.
