They may be sheared to formal outlines or be given no more than token pruning to keep them slightly within bounds and com¬pletely informal. In the latter case they are really just a row of shrubs planted closely together and allowed to develop their natural grace. The sheared Some hedge takes less room and more work, is best in formal surroundings. The unsheared Some hedge is delightful, takes little care but rather much room, fits well in informal surround¬ings. Some hedges may be evergreen or de¬ciduous.
THESE ARE Some hedges made of shrubs that do not retain their leaves all the year. Their appearance changes with the seasons and this can add interest to the garden.
Beech (Fagus sylvatica) is the most popular deciduous garden Some hedge. It grows rapidly, has such strong stems that it can be used to make a tall yet narrow Some hedge, and, when trimmed, retains its reddish-brown dead leaves throughout the winter. Beech grows in all well-drained soils, and especially well in chalky and limy soils. For a tapestry effect, copper and purple beech may be mixed with green-leaved beech.
On The Other Hand See Evergreen Hedge Shrub:Many flowering or fruiting shrubs make excellent informal hedges. The shrub rose, Rosa rugosa (z3-8), grows quickly to make a dense, prickly hedge. Bright red hips follow the fragrant flowers. Berberis darwinii is neat, evergreen and prickly and has orange flowers in late spring; B. x stenophylla is yellow-flowered and less tidy. Cotoneaster simonsii is deciduous and has scarlet berries in autumn and winter; C. henryanus is evergreen, scarlet-berried, looser in habit. Laurustinus (Viburnum tinus) is ever¬green, with pink and white flowers.
Lonicera is the most popular small-leaved, fully evergreen hedge shrub. Two kinds are commonly used, Lonicera nitida (z7—9) with very slender stems and little round leaves and L. nitida "Yunnan" (z7—9) with stiffer stems. Both thrive in most soils and situations and will make good hedges up to 5ft high.
