I know that there are species of cyprus trees/hedges that if you cut them back too far then the branch is permantly hoewever i want to know is there any species of cypress where this is not the case.Also what is the point at which this would occur ie at what point would be too far down the branch.

Do you mean conifers?

As a rule dont cut back a branch at a point where there is no green growth ie always leave some green on any conifer branch.

thanks but are there any species of cypress trees or similiar conifers where this isnt a issue ie you can cut back as much as possible without fear of it not growing

Check out "Thuja plicata" may suit your needs.

Perhaps a slow growing one would be more suitable for you.

Zebrina is a lovely T. plicata and slow growing in my garden as a small hedge. Its golden colour is suppost to look its best in the irish light

I got my Lawsons Cypruses cut back from 30 foot to 20 foot approximately in September 2017 and there has been little or no growth since, is there any remedy. Any advice please ?

Yew is regarded as being able to regenerate from old wood.

There's nothing you can do if all or most of the green growth was removed.

Cryptomeria Japonica will sprout from old wood, wood is meant to be pretty rot resistant and established plants can take strong winds.
