We have planted a hedge of japanese blueberry (elaeocarpus decipiens). The plants are about 8-9 feet tall and are 5 feet apart. How severely can I "top" the plants so that they spread to form a hedge more quickly. Ideally, we would eventually like to wind up with a 7-8 foot dense hedge.
thanks,
John
