Similar to the our last video where we prune the Laurel, we will start trimming the Contoneaster franchetii around 3-4 months after planting. This is important if you want to grow a full hedge without any gaps. Trimming the hedge will encourage side shoots to grow and start filling out. Sprinkle some 10-10-20 to encourage further growth.

Просмотров 6 тыс.4 года назад
Today we are re-visiting the Laurel hedge we fed back in March. We can see the quality of the hedge has improved, maybe not as much as we would have liked with the hard frost we got in April/May. This week we are giving it some 10-10-20 to give it a boost and after this feed it should be ok until next Spring. This will improve the colour and give it the nourishment it needs.

One advice- Please use a good mic. It’s hard to listen to your voice
Thanks!
I couldn't hear your video you were speaking to quietly.
hi, does it matter how tall the plant is before we cut it?
Thanks for that! I’m Irish in Hungary and have just planted loads of laurels like my parents have around their house in Dublin. I was sure how to encourage them to grow as they are very small. Thanks a million 🙏🏻
Some of my cherry laurels have went very thin at the bottoms and leaves are yellow and droopy how do I fix this? Some branches have no leaves left
Great advice, thanks
what on earth did I just witness? 😅That poor tree
I planted these for this reason and they grow SO quickly
Thanks! This was so helpfull! ☺

I am jealous, my Laurel never started good and now 3 months later some leaves are yellow, some have burns or rotting on edges that fall off and all hedge is turning lighter green. Posted on reddit with photos but nobody have good advice.
Thank you for taking the time to do this,it has helped me.
You've no idea how many countless hours I've spent trying to find a tutorial to tell me how to do this. You've made it so simple and easy - thank you so much.
Ditto. How very weird.
Planted a hedge June 2021 from pots. all approx 2.5-3ft height now. some winter damage. should all hedge be pruned back to 2f come May 2022 to encourage growth
Where do you.buy 10 10 20?
Would you use a petrol trimmer or electric? And can I cut in spring?
William it doesn't matter if you use a electric hedge trimmer or a petrol trimmer , late spring till late summer is a good time to trim your hedge
