do evergreen tree hedges regrow?

[SEP]

Sounds a silly question. We have evergreen trees cut as a hedge, its not a leylandi but similar, will post a pic if i can. i would prefer it a foot or two taller, if the top of the main trunks are cut will they ever grow up further?

[RobArb]

They'll grow out from the too rim of the cuts then up, like a curve

Yes they will, the lateral branches will becom leaders and grow to the sky.

On most conifers you will get growth from the green bits (foliage) but not from the brown bits (timber).

Tree surgeons wear special trousers, they are similar to the ones worn by Steve McQueen in the Great Escape, we pull little strings and fertiliser comes out and feeds your freshly trimmed hedge, thus making it grow 4 feet a year:thumbup:

McQueen wore tight chinos in The Great Escape you numpty. He had no part in the soil disposal caper, he was bouncing his ball in the cooler.

 

Please try and stick to factually correct material on the forum Mr. Blair, thanks.

Thuja is about the only one that will shoot like a broad leaf from dormant nodes.. Leylandii and other conifers all need foliage to regenerate and they will only grow from that foliage.. I think lol !!

and Yews, probably others too, the old thujas should eventualy be selected to replace the leylands, much better to manage:thumbup1:

 

if you cant be bothered to wait for the king of hedges Taxus baccata of course.
