Hi all.
Have recently ppleached some old beech hedges and the effect is stunning. Would like to surround my garden at home with hornbeam to give a similar effect, but after a bit of googling, it seems the recommended way of planting a hedge of this sort is to use wires and posts at the required height, to train the plants to.
I may be missing something here, but. Don't see the point. Surely by pruning any unwanted growth away, I would be left ( over time) with a hedge that fits the space I want it to?
Any thoughts appreciated.
