Probably-it looks like they have had their canopy lifted-a better shot to be absolutely sure.

 

ok here are some better pics, 1st is the boundary hedge which im guessing is lleylandii. ive heard lots of bad things about lleylandii but surely if we trim it to the same level at the start and end of each summer then it will remain a neat and manageble boundary hedge?

the 2nd pic is of something in the flowerbed, shrub? upsideydowney type tree? (complete beginner here!). can anyone tell me what it is and what i should do with it? im guessing just prune the bits that touch the ground (cut diagonally anywhere on the stem with clippers?)

The 3rd pic is of some plant that grows winding around a metal pole, it has pink flowers at the moment. Can anyone tell me what that is and how I should care for it?

Thanks

 

can i just bump this back up as I dont thik anyone has looked since i added pics or maybe my pics arent clear enough?

 

Sorry Clueless, I am completel;y clueless lol.


Leyllandii is (just like ivy) a much maligned plant-and mostly undeservedly so, with both-when you look after it well it does an excellent job.

 

It could be Leylandii.... a close up of the leaves would help.... leylandii is much maligned... for good reasons! But you've done a good job cutting it!

No.2 is the Kilmarnock willow

No.3... could be anything.. another pic would be useful

 

The first one looks like Leylandii and yes, if you keep it well trimmed it will be fine, especially as you don't seem to be trying to grow anything underneath or next to it. But it needs this trim at least once a year as unlike many other plants, cutting into "dead" wood won't encourage more growth, you just end up with brown dead wood. Looks like it provideds good privacy though.

Can't say about the others

 

It is beautiful...Adds glory to life...
