Beech Hedge Cutting

Question

I have a beech hedge running along one of my boundaries. On my neighbor’s side, it is only about 0. 5 meters deep. My side needs a severe pruning. When is the best time to do this? I have been told conflicting info.

Answer 1

While your beech hedge is growing, it's best to trim it in winter.
One light cut, just nipping off the ends of the new growth is all it needs.
