Plants used as hedges require lush foliage, strong pruning resistance, strong regeneration ability, suitable for growth under close planting conditions, long life, ability to overwinter foliage in the local area, no freezing injury, easy access to a large number of seedlings for propagation and transplant resistance.
These ten common hedge plants are Ligustrum lucidum, Ligustrum lucidum, Berberis purpurea, Buxus macrophylla, Buxus microphylla, Platycladus orientalis, Sabina vulgaris, Rose, Forsythia suspensa and Amorpha fruticosa.
1. Edge hedge
This is a kind of low hedge, which is often used as the frame of flower beds and vegetable gardens or on both sides of courtyard paths. Only 1.8 inches high, mostly boxwood. Its plants are short and dense, and can be pruned a little every year.
Hedgerow plant
2. Windbreak hedge
This is a relatively large and high hedge. As a wind barrier, it can protect garden flowers and trees from strong winds in winter. Most of them are evergreen shrubs with dense branches and leaves, such as Japanese yew, hemlock and arborvitae.
Hidden hedge
The sundries in the yard, trash cans and places to dry clothes are all unwanted by outsiders. In order to block the sight of outsiders, holly and yew can be used to keep a height of about 5 feet, so that unsightly places can be blocked.
4. Border hedges
In order to lock the scope of your yard, hide your yard so that neighbors and outsiders can't see the barrier you made. Usually evergreen shrubs or deciduous shrubs are used. Most of them are coniferous shrubs, such as Japanese yew, hemlock and arborvitae. These plants are easier to prune and can control the height and shape of the fence. If the courtyard is large, we should choose broad-leaved evergreen shrubs with sparse branches and leaves, such as clove and Euonymus japonicus. Short, such as Japanese tiller, Ligustrum lucidum, etc.
recommended varieties
The ideal hedgerow plant should be in the bud, with strong branching, pruning resistance, healing resistance, extensive management resistance, less pests and diseases, lush foliage or beautiful colorful leaves or flowers and fruits.
