We planted the hedge back in 2017. It only lost a significant amount of leaves during the quite severely frosty January 2020. Otherwise, it has remained mostly intact. So it seems that the cold is the deciding factor for whether it is bare or leafy. Here in Northern Germany, it is rarely cold for long periods, so the hedge usually stays leafy, even if the leaves are wilted rather than fir green. By the way, the cold sharp east wind also stripped the leaves off the cherry laurel, which does not tolerate it well either.

I think we will use the European beech.

Basic question: Should I start this project this year, or wait until spring?

It’s about roughly 13m (43 feet) and will probably require the help of an excavator again...

At the moment, I’m not really in the right mindset for it, so spring would actually be preferable.

In spring, everyone wants something, so now you might be able to get a bargain...

I wouldn’t plant anything now without a good reason.

Too late for planting; the roots will no longer establish. Risk of drying out in frozen soil.

Thank you all.

Then I will wait until spring, I actually prefer that anyway.
