The element that seemed to have not ended the garden. Maybe it hides a wall or mesh, but at just a look, you will always see greenery and other greenery. In recent years, but maybe even a dry center or a whole branch. “The coniferous drought often does not testify to conifers. It is therefore better to choose resistant species or bet on deciduous trees,” advises Jana Bucharová in podcast.
Podcast not only about hedges is right here:
The hedge of deciduous trees has several advantages. As already mentioned, they usually resist drought than conifers. When you choose correctly, the fence will be green all year round, and it still looks. And the best thing is that the deciduous trees look great in combination – you can mix at will and instead of confusion you just achieve a more natural look. And it does not have to be just our four recommended.

You may be surprised that there is a fast growing shrub with solid leaves related to roses. And even more perhaps it used to be used in healing. “Some may seem drab, but also does not attract much attention on the spot of the hedge,” says Jana Bucharová. It benefits in the shade and shade and rather nutritional soil, but overall it is rather unpretentious for cultivation. It grows up to two meters, so it does not need to cut too often. Sometimes it can get tired, and when it easily recovers itself, it is recommended to cover the roots through the winter.

Buxus. Someone loves him, another can’t come to his name and considers him a disaster of Czech gardens. But the boxwood is not very responsible for it, only one moment there was too much everywhere. It is evergreen, so ideal for a hedge, without cutting it can grow in good conditions up to a height of six meters. Overall, it is also undemanding on the ground and habitat.
You can combine various cultivars, you can use cut twigs in addition. But be aware that it contains strongly laxative poisons, so the garden with children may not fit so much. “In recent years, more and more often there has been an increasingly boxwood clerk, which hurts him and can suddenly destroy the entire fence,” the expert points out.

Unlike Buxus, it is not very threatened by pests. At the same time, it is evergreen and has differently colored leaves according to a specific variety or even a cultivar, and during the winter it will decorate it with beads of red fruits. It needs a semi -shady and permeable soil, but well tolerates even stronger frosts. When you cut it, it will also be a beautiful decoration not only for Christmas.
