In reply to "Dovefromabove", I did clip the hedge this year as I have done in recent years, only this year I clipped it mid June not as late on in the year as I have done it before, second week in July. Do you think this could have caused the problem?.
Flowersforbees- the hedging companies supply bare root hedge from November through to March so you should be fine ordering it just now. I've got some coming this year from Hopes Grove nursery - ordered online. Used them before and they were very good.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Thanks.
If you clip it early, it makes new growth which then falls in autumn. We always cut the beech in August.
