On The Other Hand See Regular Pruning Is Needed:Propagation and growing: set young plants in a dry, sunny spot where they can be left to achieve full height. Cut back mature plants to half their height in the fall to keep the shape neat. Increase by tip cuttings taken in summer. No regular pruning is needed but the shrub should be kept under control.
Some hedges need pruning to create attractive shapes, while others are pruned to promote regular flowering. Pruning deciduous hedges helps to produce a mass of shoots from their base; hedges with thin bases are always an eyesore. In areas where there is a risk of high snowfall, the top of the hedge should be sloped so that snow falls quickly and easily off the top.
