Cutting Shaped Hedges:

It is recommended

that hedges be cut

in a trapezoidal

shape, in order to

prevent stripping off

of the lower branch-

es. This corresponds

to the natural plant

growth and allows the hedge to thrive opti-

mally. 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 rst. To do

this, move the hedge trimmer in the

direction of growth from bottom to

top. If you cut down from the top, the

thinner branches will move out, which

may result in some areas having sparse

growth or holes.

• Cut the top edge, according to taste,

in a at 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.
