Hello all. I wish to have a small hedge along the path to my small front garden . I’d like it to be kept low if possible. Can said buxus hedge kept trimmed very low ?
Many thanks

This is a Box hedge in the picture around the base of the tree trunk robbo81 this is around a foot high but could be kept even lower than that if need be  |

I've got some very low box balls/hedging like steve has robbo81, it's slow growing & kept be kept as low as you want if you trim it every year. The box balls in my front garden are 6 years old & about 1ft tall & the little hedge (also 6 years old) around the sundial in the back garden is only about 10in tall (both need a trim at the moment)    |

Hello again my buxus hedging arrived today.
It says spacing of around 30cm apart. Is this about right? Seems a lot to me. I do only want a low , small hedge , so it suits me if it will mean a thin , not very bushy hedge
Thanks all

I think you can probably plant them a bit closer than that if you want the hedge to look 'bushier' quicker especially as you want to keep it low, I'm sure mine are a lot closer than that but I haven't measured them.
