the placing of tensioned guiding cords
is recommended.
Cutting Shaped Hedges:
ral plant growth and allows the hedge to
thrive optimally. During cutting, only the
new annual growths are reduced and thus
a dense branching and a good screen will
develop.
• Cut the sides of a hedge first. To do
this, move the hedge trimmer in the
direction of growth from bottom to top.
If you cut down from the top, the thin-
ner branches will move out, which may
result in some areas having sparse
growth or holes.
• Cut the top edge, according to taste,
in a flat shape, roof shape or rounded
shape
• Trim young plants to the required
shape. The main growth should re-
main undamaged until the hedge has
reached the planned height. All other
shoots are lopped off to half size.
Care of Free-Growing Hedges:
Free-growing hedges are not shaped when
cut, although they must be regularly main-
tained so the hedge does not become too
high.
It is recommended
that hedges be cut
in a trapezoidal
shape, in order to
prevent stripping off
of the lower branch-
es. This corre-
