When Should You Cut Beech and Yew Hedges?

Beech and yew are both popular choices for a formal, established hedge, and each generally needs less frequent cutting than fast growers like Leylandii or privet.

Beech hedges

Beech hedges provide attractive seasonal interest and often retain their brown leaves through much of the winter. A single annual cut, usually carried out later in summer, is generally sufficient to keep them tidy.

Yew hedges

Yew is slower-growing and can often be maintained with a single cut a year, though the amount and timing should take account of the hedge's condition and what you're trying to achieve.
