Don't be tempted to buy bigger specimens - they're harder to establish, and usually benefit from being cut back anyway, so it's a bit pointless Around 3 feet is ideal.
Thanks, that's good advice I will go for the smaller ones 👍
My OH has just suggested that you could think about cutting the centre part of the old hedge away to make an entrance into the new piece of ground and still plant a new hedge from whips where you want it. Might save a lot of effort, maintains most of the old hedge for the wildlife and you'd have something to look at whilst the new hedge is growing. Just a thought
I like his idea, I think it could work. I will let you know how we get on. Thank you everyone for your help and thoughts.
