Thank you for this video. Super clear instruction! I’m in the States hoping to do a hedge experiment on my property with something that grows well here. I’d love to learn more about the initial preparation and planting of the hedge line.

Any recommendations for those of us in the USA to start planting trees like hawthorn to coppice a hedge?

Where did you get that billhook? I would like to buy one

[MUSTASCHO]

Really useful to see how this is done and why. Any recommendations on suppliers of quality billhooks would be appreciated!

Always wondered how hedges got so dense using normal trees that naturally grow straight up.
Can this be done with beech trees? I planted a line of beech around my front garden and wanting a natural fence. I planted them this year so they are only about 4ft tall. How long do i need to wait to do this process?

Do you get stuck with the thorns a lot? Or do some of your (UK) hawthorn not have big spikes?

[finallyfriday.]

Do the stakes sprout like a willow cuttings would?

[aenorist]

No binders at all around the stakes?
I guess because they are in two rows, save yourself the hassle?

[mclarenrob]

Good job they've got helmets on with those heavy branches 😅

[Richard-mepq]

If you want a hedge why do you have a barbed wire fence?
