Outcome in report
Mixed Hedge (Thorn Elm & Ivy) in Conservation Area to front This is a group of primarily Hawthorn and some Elm. Much is covered with Ivy. We discussed restoration by reducing the height of all the Hawthorn and Elm to around 1.5m (this will allow the new growth to form a hedge to top approximately 30cm above the stumps. The Elm will probably die-back but are likely to be replaced with new suckering growth as is common for the species. May also reveal opportunities where some young bare root Hawthorn can be used to gap up the hedge. This work would start at the end of the hedge (drive entrance) and run up to the largest healthy Elm approximately 5-6m from the end of your boundary. We will also remove all the Ivy and treat the stems with a suitable licensed herbicide. We will use the chipped brash from this operation to mulch the hedge and I recommend this is watered to help it on its way.
