Hi all,
What hedge is this?
This hedge seperates half of our garden from a courtyard. On the courtyard side it’s overhanging by a good foot and is another foot too tall.
Can I cut it right back and down which would remove near enough all of the leaves on those sides – would it grow back?
This looks like privet to me, the flowers smell pretty strong (I love the smell).
Yeah that’s privet. You can be pretty ruthless as they back bud well.
