Robi-Taille specialists reduce a third to half of the new growth (shoots) of the year. Since cedar is a conifer, cutting up to the old growth of the previous year would stop regrowth. Too severe or poorly done trimming can leave bare crowns or large gaps in your cedar hedge for several years, in some cases, the coverage may never recover. It is therefore recommended to trim your hedges before they become too tall or voluminous. Choosing to maintain your cedar hedge annually is a smart and cost-effective way to maintain your landscape. For our Quebec winter, the recommended shape is slightly conical at the top to prevent accumulated snow from crushing and breaking the crown. This shape also provides uniform access to sunlight throughout your hedge, promoting its health from the top to the bottom.
Regardless of the height or variety of cedar adorning your yard or garden: Thuja occidentalis, Smaragd, Brandon, Fastigiata, or other types of cedar hedge, the fundamentals remain the same. Trim your hedges annually and give them a slightly conical shape at the top. Following these two tips will help prevent etiolation, increase foliage density, promote optimal sunlight, and create the desired privacy for your property.
