Maintaining Cedar Hedge...
Back the Week before Christmas Mother Nature had dumped a combination Heavy Snow and lots of it, Freezing Rain , and just plain Rain... Unfortunately we were away from home so was unable to do a quick remedy... The Cedar Hedge was planted by the previous owner some 7 yrs ago and has grown to a height of 10 / 12 ft. and filled out pretty well considering.. The weight of the Snow has caused the hedge to bend over in spots almost 90' in spots as well.. I had taken as much snow off as I could without breaking any branches and of course the rest is melting on sunny days.. My Query is , Will the branches spring back up by Spring time once the ground has thawed out?? If I have to do any trimming will it take long for the hedge to fill back in?? I have a 6ft. Ladder so standing near the top rung and reaching comfortably 10 / 12ft. Is as high as I can manage... I would assume letting the hedge reach too much higher wouldn't be proper?? I'd like to see the Hedge fill out as privousy is a concern... Thanks
