Our Holly Hedges are veteran trees, probably as old as the House. When the Trust acquired Bannockburn House, they were very overgrown. So we cut them back gradually to try and return them to the thick, sturdy hedges they once were.

We began by taking about 20 metres off the height, then a year later we reduced the height further and shaved the sides. These two cuts stimulated new root growth.

Finally, we reduced the trees to one metre stumps and they have now grown back with vigour. We prune them annually to encourage a thick, healthy hedge for a rich wildlife habitat and windbreak.
