Very tall, dense hedges can act like a sail in strong wind, putting extra strain on the base and root system.
What affects stability
- Overall height relative to the hedge's base and root spread
- How dense the growth is, which increases wind resistance
- Soil conditions and how well established the hedge is
Keeping height within sensible limits is one of the simplest ways to reduce this risk.
