What is hedge laying?

Hedge laying is a process of partially cutting through the stems of hedge plants and bending them over so they are still growing. This will encourage them to create new growth from the base and make a more dense and stock proof boundary, which will also benefit habitat for wildlife.

Here are some before and after photos.

A large beech tree which had to be taken down due to its structural condition after loosing part of its canopy in a past storm.
The tree also had honey fungus.
Honey fungus spreads underground, attacking and killing the roots of perennial plants and then decaying the dead wood. It is the most destructive fungal disease in UK gardens. 🍄
How to spot honey fungus-

•Upper parts of the plant die. Sometimes suddenly during periods of hot dry weather, indicating failure of the root system; sometimes more gradually with branches dying back over several years.
•Premature autumn colours.
•Cracking and bleeding of the bark at the base of the stem.
•If suitable conditions permit, mushrooms are produced in autumn from infected plant material.
•Dead and decaying roots, with sheets of white fungus material (mycelium) between bark and wood, smelling strongly of mushrooms. This can often be detected at the collar region at ground level.
