When Should You Trim Hedges in Hawke’s Bay?
In Hawke’s Bay’s climate, hedges can grow rapidly through spring and summer.
Best practice:
• Light trims: every 6–10 weeks during growing season
• Heavier shaping: late summer or early autumn
• Avoid heavy cuts in frost-prone periods
Regular trimming prevents:
• woody, uneven growth
• gaps forming in hedges
• excessive height that becomes costly to reduce later
