    Hi folks,

    I wonder if someone could help me id this hedge please.
    As seen in the visitor centre in the phoenix park

    Also, I see lidl selling what they are calling 9cm connifers for 1.50, would these be suitable for a miniature hedge also ?

    Thanks in advance

    The small hedge seems to be box (buxus). Fairly slow growing, needs a clip once or twice a year and gives a good dense hedge.

    I don't know what species the Lidl conifers are but generally conifers will not make a miniature hedge in the long term. Many things sold as miniature are really just slow growing, but will reach an ultimate height of 3-5m or more. Many conifers dont appreciate being trimmed either whereas box seems to thrive on it!
