Beech Hedge

Hi,

I have recently moved into a house where there is a 30m beech hedge along the road frontage. Between the hedge and the road is a fence. I am proposing to remove the fence but at present there are no leaves on the fence side of the hedge.

If I were to remove the fence, would the bare side of the hedge 'leaf up' in time?

What is the spacing between the hedge and the fence? 6", 12", 10' ?

Yes. It would. You might have to cut some of the leafless branches back to stimulate growth but beech will regrow from old wood. If it was mine I would treat it as if I wanted to restore the hedge. You can find good notes on how to bring old beech hedging back to life at

Good luck
