Coniferous plants for hedges
Natural green hedges are the best alternative to fences and picket fences. Besides, if the hedge is made of coniferous plants, then you can admire its beauty and greenery all year round. This puts the coniferous hedge in the first place among any fences on the garden plot. There are, of course, small nuances in creating a hedge, but they are so insignificant that summer residents still consider a coniferous hedge to be the best fence.
So which coniferous plants are most suitable for a hedge in a suburban area? All coniferous trees and shrubs grow quite slowly, which allows summer residents to spend less time on pruning. Today we will talk about which coniferous garden plants will best fit into the role of a hedge.
The first place among conifers is claimed, of course, by thuja. This tree, when planted closely, looks very much like a solid fence, and if you slightly adjust the top, then you will get an ideal coniferous hedge made of thuja. Thuja requires almost no care, and this tree will perfectly fit into any garden landscape.
The second place rightfully belongs to juniper, but it is necessary to choose not creeping forms, but bush forms. By planting such a coniferous shrub along the garden path, you can add originality and originality to the suburban area. Juniper is also unpretentious, you will only need to trim the branches that have grown onto the path slightly in early spring.
Further, according to the summer residents, the spruce hedge looks very wonderful. By planting a dozen Christmas trees very close to each other, you will create a real barbed fence. Its height is very easy to control by cutting and pruning. If the tree does not form a pyramidal crown from the very beginning (which is natural with regular haircuts), then the Christmas trees will simply grow in breadth, not upward. Well, this is necessary when creating a hedge.
Larch hedges look very peculiar. The needles of this coniferous tree fall off in autumn, but with the onset of spring everything returns to normal, the hedge turns green again. This is the only coniferous plant that has such a feature. The needles of the larch are bright green, and it simply looks amazing in group plantings of the hedge.
Recently, a hedge made of hemlock has become very relevant. This unusual coniferous shrub easily tolerates cutting, which makes it just a magic wand for gardeners. Its crown can be shaped like a ball, a rectangle, and even the shape of various figures. Not many conifers can boast of such a feature. Hemlock grows faster than many conifers, which allows summer residents to cut it more often, and therefore give the crown a different shape.
