I've just looked at my Hornbeam hedge and thought oops perhaps I should
have lopped a bit off the top before now.

Its 18 months old and the chap who planted it told me not to cut it
until it was established and now I  just looked at a site saying I
should have cut it down by a third when it was planted! Thats long gone
now.

Spring has turned to summer with a big bang this year its 28 degrees
today and I think I have missed the spring trim?

Some plants look bushy while others a bit leggy is it too late to give
it a good chop? Any advice out there please.
Many thanks
Olive
