Thanks, Paul; Very informative, in particular with regards to tree roots and the availability of free depth calculators; always good to know. On any follow-up videos, please drop the background music; unnecessary and irritating
Hi Paul. Very clear and on point video. What is your take on this : "There are general observations and characteristics that can support the fact that a hawthorn hedge typically has lower water demand compared to a hawthorn tree. 1. Root Systems: - Hawthorn Hedges: Hedges consist of multiple shrubs planted closely together, resulting in smaller individual root systems. The limited root system of a hedge generally requires less water. - Hawthorn Trees: Individual trees, especially larger and more mature specimens, have larger and more extensive root systems. These root systems can extract water from a wider area, resulting in higher water demands. 2. Canopy Coverage: - Hawthorn Hedges: Hedges typically have denser foliage and can provide some shade and protection against direct sunlight. This can reduce evaporation and help retain soil moisture, resulting in lower water demand. - Hawthorn Trees: Trees have larger canopies that can create more shade, but they can also increase evaporation, leading to higher water demand. 3. Soil Moisture Retention: - Hawthorn Hedges: The close proximity of shrubs in a hedge can help create a microclimate that encourages moisture retention in the soil, reducing water demand. - Hawthorn Trees: The larger open space around individual trees may result in increased air circulation and soil moisture loss, potentially leading to higher water demand."
It makes a lot of sense in my view but if you use the NHBC calculator, you can't find the hedge, only the full blown tree which I think is a significant oversight in many cases.
Very informative Only wish I see it before I started my self build I’m in 2.25m deep because building control see a tree in the neighbours garden and it went to pot from there. Structural engineers report never mentioned about clay heave Now I have to remove all shuttering and put 75mm clay master boards 😮 Question Paul Could there be anymore stumbling blocks? Thanks in advance Also any idea what 152/152cu is?
Thanks for sharing valuable information Paul. Very appreciated.
Very good.
Gives me a good starting point on what to look for.

Very useful video thanks for uploading.
Leyland Cypress as an example are certainly not broad leaf but do have a high water uptake.
