Solved Help to identify hedges please part 2

Hi it is me again. I found some other plants in my hedges that I don't know what they are and how to deal with them.

• IMG_6288 looks like a dead hedge and I don't know what it is and how to make it alive.
• IMG_6289 looks awful and I'd like to get rid of it.
• IMG_6290 I'd like to keep but no idea what it is.

Thank you.

 

1.6288. Need clearer pics.
2.6289. Need clearer pics.
3.6290. Looks like Fraxinus excelsior...common name Common Ash tree.
Fast growing and not suitable for small gardens.

 

How can I upload clear images? It seems being compressed automatically during uploading.

 

Size of pic is fine.
Detail is poor. Need close ups.

 

Here you go.

6294 is the closer picture of 6288
6296 and 6297 are the closer picture of 6289
6297, 6300 and 6301 are the closer pictures of 6290

 

6294. This is still the Fraxinus excelsior...common name Ash tree...as id'd earlier.

6296 and 6297...This is a common weed...Groundsel/Ragwort or similar.
After the flowers you get seed...which fly away like dandelions.
Get rid asap.

6299/6300/6301.
Sorry are you taking the Michael?
That is a dead branch.
Without clues of leaves/flowers it could be absolutely anything.
Remove asap.

 

Thank you vey much for your reply.

Do I need to trim the ash tree regularly to avoid it growing too big?

 

Quote my earlier answer.....
3.6290. Looks like Fraxinus excelsior...common name Common Ash tree.
Fast growing and not suitable for small gardens.

Unless you have a field/farm then my recommendation is to remove it asap.
It will just get bigger and bigger and bigger.
IF you want a tree there are far more suitable small, fab trees suitable for small gardens.

 

Okay. I think there are other tree-like plants in my hedge area. Here they are:

In my previous thread, people saying that 6293 is field maple and require proper trimming, which seems also a tree that can grow very big. Is that really field maple and should I remove it asap?

Thank you.

 

Thank you very much for your reply. Well, the ash tree already grows to about 1.8m high. If they are so nuisance for small gardens, my question is how can I remove it effectively given that it is grow inside my hedge? Is it hard to do it myself without hurting the hedge? Or would it be wise to hire a specialist to remove it?

 

No need for specialist.
Save your money.
That tree is still really tiny.
Use secateurs to remove all branches one at a time.
They will not be very thick.
Then you can see the trunk.
Trunk may only be a few inches across.
It may be on the edge of the hedge and you can get a saw and remove it at ground level.
The roots will need to stay...you cannot disturb the rest of the hedge which will soon grow to hid the hole left by the ash.

 

Thanks for your reply. It might be a stupid question but will the root of ash tree negatively affect the growth of my hedge given that it is still alive and competing the nutritions with the hedge?

I believe the trunk will grow again next year and I need to repeat the work. Is that right?

 

This seems to have been planted as a mixed hedge.
To keep it tidy you are going to have to get used to trimming it regularly in winter.
Sides as well as the top.
You could leave stump/root of Ash and when it regrows and again reaches 3ft/4ft (or the height you decide) then just keep decapitating it.

 

I think you are right. Maybe the previous owner has planted it as a mixed hedge and I can see signs of trims. In your previous comment, you said that:

So remove it means control its height rather than completely remove it (as it is too hard to do so)?

In addition, could you please also identify the plants I posted at #10? I'd be very appreciated.
