#advice This #boxhedge at #tulliehousegarden is just over 2ft tall and in my opinion needs #pruning. It is swaying a lot in these winds. When is the best time and how much should I risk. I can see @ukjohnny in previous tags - you do not hold back!!

Twice a year at least really . The best time to do this is at the end of May. The second time should be the beginning of September. You can trim down as hard as 6ins but I usually only trim to 1ft
