[QUOTE="Yale, post: 570246, member: 19"] Generally hedges which are trimmed annually will bear little fruit anyway as you need more than one years growth to give flowering branches,therefore fruit. Annual trimming is good from a management practice as it stops hedges getting out of control and keeps them tidy putting the least stress on the hedge trimming machine/cutter. If you go to 2 year trimming the fruiting ability is only increased marginally but when trimmed they look like they have had a 'bad haircut'. 3 or more years and you are left with hedges which are extremely difficult to trim,but proportionally would fruit well. Around here if you left hedges 3 years on roadsides they would become practically impassible to large vehicles.(especially bigger tractors with sticking out mirrors.) [/QUOTE]
