Box hedge

[DennisLS]

Hi, does anyone know how ( if it is possible) to prevent my box hedge from turning brown when I trim it.?

Thanks

Hi

now is the right time to trim, brown leaves are normally caused by sunlight burning the leaves and also electric hedge trimmers or blunt cutters although with the hedge trimmers you tend to get a more even finish.

so the answer is
trim on a cloudy day
use sharp tools
sprinkle the box with water on hot days just after trimming

hope that helps

regards
