Hi,
I have just planted about 30 privet bushes. They were 'pre-grown' to about 60 - 80cms tall when I bought them.
My main aim is to create a 'barrier' in the garden (probably keeping it about 1.5 - 2m high), so I just planted them 'one' deep as there is no need for a very thick hedge.
I would appreciate any advice on the best way to cultivate a hedge as quick as possible. i.e. Should I leave them for a few weeks to establish, then chop the tops off them to encourage a 'bushier' growth?
Any tips greatly received
Many thanks,
Gary
