Leylandii, Lemon Cypress & Red Robin Photinia Hedge Pruning Guide
Leylandii hedges in Sakarya should be trimmed twice annually (late May and mid-September), clipping only outer green shoots and avoiding cuts into old brown wood which cannot regenerate.
Never Cut into Brown Wood
Conifers like Leylandii do not regenerate foliage from old brown wood. Trimming too deep creates permanent brown holes. Always leave green foliage on every cut stem.
Encouraging Red Foliage on Photinia
Red Robin photinias thrive on 2 to 3 light trims per year, continually stimulating vibrant red flushes while thickening lower hedge density.
