I Have A Beech Hedge But Don’t Know If Theres A Way Of Making It Grow Any Faster. If Not How Much Would It Grow In A Year?

Hi, I’m looking for a bit of advice on my beech I have. I have just purchased a property and got about 130 feet of Beech hedge. Im sure it is Fagus sylvatica. It’s been trimmed previously down to about 2 to 3 feet high. I’m wanting it to be about 5 feet +. Is there anything you can advise that I could do to help it grow any faster? If not then how tall do they usually grow per year?

Beech grows moderately to fast, 30 to 60 cm (12 to 23 inches) a year. Give it proper care to keep it growing well. These articles should help:
