Cedar hedge trimming and training

When trimming a cedar hedge

There are three most common reasons to have your cedars trimmed. Firstly, this technique allows you to control their development. In addition, it keeps your hedge in good condition if you have it trimmed every year. Finally, this annual precaution will give you a lush hedge that will be as lush as you want it to be. So hurry up and fill out the form on the right or contact us at 450-804-0655.​

The right way to prune

Young cedars obviously do not have the elevation they will have at full maturity. This is why it is essential not to cut their tops and to stick to their side branches first. Our experts are well aware of this precautionary measure. However, they will wait until your cedars are as tall as you want them to be before pruning their heads. 

Other precautionary methods are needed. In particular, only a third of each new shoot should be cut off. Of course, it is possible to go a little more drastically and go to half their length. On the other hand, it is strongly discouraged to exceed this limit. It would interrupt their growth!

The right time for pruning

The cedar hedge is the preferred method of giving a private and secret character to your property by distinguishing it from its neighbours. One of the reasons is that it is less expensive than a fence. On the other hand, as an annual maintenance, it should be trimmed. For a magnificent hedge that will be the envy of all, do business with Emondage Sainte-Julie Pro. Annual pruning is essential to obtain a vigorous, bushy hedge. 

There are good times for a cedar hedge trimming, namely when the new shoots show up. However, it is not advisable to practice this technique in periods of extreme heat. In terms of dates, it should be done between July 1st and September 15th. This small beach requires that you get to grips with it quickly in order to book your tour. An unstoppable trick is to set the same maintenance date in advance for each year. This is a good way to avoid the risk of having to proceed late. This would not be the best way.

Formation size

Do you know the size of the training? It is a technique that extends over several years and is designed to give a particular structure to a tree. For a variety of reasons, it requires starting when the tree is still very young. You will understand that any structural correction of anomalies is easier to achieve for a young tree than for a mature one. Moreover, the larger the diameter of a severed branch, the longer it takes to heal the scar on it. The longer this time stretches, the greater the chance of unfortunate consequences. Proceeding at an early stage avoids such annoyances. 

What you are looking for in the case of a training size requires more precision than with other techniques. That is why one of our experts will want to ask you about this in order to fully understand your expectations. When owners own fruit trees, their goal is usually to increase the harvest. You should know that we have the seasoned expertise in the field of Quebec fruit trees. This means that we can determine, among other things, the type of pruning that is appropriate for a given species, as well as the stage of the tree's development. 

Many people also entrust us with their training pruning with a view to producing shade where it is desired, so that it is conducive to the creation of a quiet corner. No matter what you expect, you can be sure that our team is a master in this field and that they will be able to satisfy you.
