The acidity of the soil is also of great importance is to slightly feel good of coniferous plants, and the average will prefer hawthorn, will Ligustrum, Berberis, cotoneaster. The width of the fence when correct and timely pruning of plants may be only 30-40 cm, therefore for a wide hedge bushes are planted in 2-3 rows. Plants for hedges can be of different heights, low, meter, grow spirea, barberry, boxwood. Average height of 1-2 m have the physocarpus, hawthorn, compendium, hazel, Privet, Jasmine and lilac.

The coniferous plants are resistant to polluted air and unable to die, a leafy plant in this respect is stronger. The most resistant of the conifers – arborvitae, Austrian pine or European larch that in winter the needle drops. All conifers grow slowly, so if you need a fast growing hedge, it is better to alternate them with deciduous trees. Protect from uninvited guests the bushes, with large needle – sea buckthorn, sloe, wild rose, honey locust, barberry and hawthorn.

Before planting the soil need to prepare, remove weeds, dig up the soil and enrich it with compost. Planting a hedge is better in early spring or late autumn, each plant is preferable to plant in a separate hole. For a smooth landing draw the line twine or string, along which it creates a hedge.

If the year was dry, the hedges need to be watered on a par with vegetable gardens and flower beds. Water should be supplied evenly, gently flow around each plant individually.





Branches sticking out in the hedge look very untidy in any form – rounded, straight or curly. The pruning tools should be clean, sharp, pruning is carried out exclusively in cloudy weather. The first cut is made low, 10-20 cm above the ground. Conifer hedge trimmed 2-3 times a year, reducing first cutting all the stems to 1/3 of the length, and the pine and spruce trees cut in late winter before they begin to fabricate the resin. The second crop is 10 cm in July and autumn, not later than September, cut the foliage. When conifers grow on the scheduled length, cut them to 5 cm

Pruning is well tolerated arborvitae and juniper, and the Eastern Hemlock tree. They're known as the fastest growing conifers. Deciduous hedgerows soon after planting, forming, cutting at 20 cm regardless of the original length. Thus, plants can acquire the desired thickness. The second crop, the following year, shortens the plants at 30 cm, and all subsequent years of 10-15 cm It helps to make the plants not as tall and more dense.
