One of my cedar hedges (the one facing the street) was not properly maintained in the decades it lived before I bought the place, and it’s just a mess. An arborist told me there’s not much to be done–he could give it a uniform height, but it’ll still be a mess and the think patches won’t grow back thicker…
I’d like to just cut it all down and start again with something else! But what?
Looking around my neighborhood–an old suburban village with lots of tall trees in Southern Quebec–the only other kind of hedge I see is honeysuckle and I don’t love that option.
Would hazelnut be crazy? I want to have a mini forest on the other side of the hedge, so it’s an attractive option… But I’ve never really observed a hedge of then close up… Has anybody tried this in a suburban setting? Any other hedge reccos? Thanks!
