Trimming Junipers

Catherine Roddick
21 years ago

My brother has a long Juniper hedge running along his front lawn that needs to be shaped. Is there an appropriate time or way to do this?

Last August he trimmed back a section using his power hedge trimmer. Shortly after, this section turned ugly brown for a month or so. Now it has come back new and green.

Will it alway turn brown when he trims it back? Is this just something he need to plan around? Or was August a bad time? I have no problem believing the heat of August could have played into it.

Any information you can provide would be very helpful!!

Thanks in advance,

Catherine
