Tips for cutting
• Please observe the brooding season of the birds!
• The ideal hedge cutting form is the trapezoid
which provides for adequate light and ventilation for
all parts of the hedge.
• In order to promote thick growth of young hedges,
only half of new shoots should be cut.
• If the hedge has already reached the desired
height, new shoots can be completely removed.
• In order to achieve a steady hedge height you can
string up a guide wire at the desired height and cut
along this wire.
• Cutting seasons:
– Deciduous hedges: May/June and October (cut-
back to approx. 1/3 of the total height in winter)
– Conifer hedges: April and October
– Conifers: April and October
• Under no circumstances spray the hedge shears off
with water.
Storage

E
