- What are the best Australian native hedges? Whether you're looking for good screening, lots of flowers, habitat and food for wildlife, or just something that looks pretty, this video will help you choose the best Australian hedge for you garden.
Some of the plants that make the list include lilly pillies, bottlebrushes, westringias and correas. But which varieties should you choose out of all of the options on the market? And what makes those varieties better than the others? - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

So thorough. I just bought my first house. In the country .Zone four - the Wimmera. Been living for decades three floors up in a flat. Never had any sort of garden or yard. This video was so thorough thank it. It will help me making my hedge choices

My friend, have a good relationship 😊
I need to learn how to trim my callistemon slim. They're part of an informal shrubbery rather than a hedge, but I wouldn't mind neatening them up a tad.
Sure! If you'd rather them keep their natural shape, there's a bit of philosophy behind it.
The easiest way to approach it is to focus on pruning to a fork. Ensure no pruning cuts are bigger than 3x the diameter of the branch you're pruning back to.
Learn what a "branch collar" is, and how to avoid cutting into it, while also avoiding a "stub cut".
The cuts you'll be focusing on are "selective heading" and "removal" cuts.
The first branches to remove are your Dead, Damaged or Diseased branches (the 3 Ds). Then go for crossing and competing branches, which are facing the wrong direction or rubbing on each other.
Try to stick to pruning less than 1/3 of the total shrub when performing this type of pruning to encourage aesthetically pleasing natural growth instead of encouraging a very thick hedge shape.

Jezz, is our English that hard to understand that we need subtitles?
I use subtitles because sometimes you need the volume down, and also some people have hearing difficulties.
It was sarcasm. @@ozbreed
