I have always hated my neighbour's 10 ft tall conifer hedge adjoining my back garden, because I can't reach the top to trim it (she does no gardening!)
Today her parents are here to chop it down to about 4 ft. As the gardens are on a slope the cut top is visible and looks hideous so far. I have seen similar severe cuts elsewhere and they never seem to recover. I am not going to lose sleep over it, but is there any chance that there will eventually be enough re-growth to hide the cut trunks?
