Herring Most conifers only carry green, growing foliage on their outer layer, which means cutting beyond it into old wood can leave permanent bare patches.
Why this damage is permanent
- Old, bare wood on most conifers doesn't reliably produce new growth
- A single overly deep cut can undo years of careful maintenance
- Regular, lighter trimming avoids ever approaching this risk
This is exactly why we're always careful to assess the green growth line before cutting any conifer hedge.
