We’re planning a cotoneaster hedge around the front and side of our corner lot this spring, and were wondering if anyone had any advice before we put the plants in. We like a nice, natural-looking hedge, not a tightly pruned one, and we know to put the plants a decent distance back from the sidewalk (we’re going to put them about a meter back, especially since we want to keep them fairly natural, and they are much larger than people may realize), but is there anything else we should be thinking about?
So, no one at all has ever put in a hedge, eh? Tough crowd.
