Small Conifers

I planted 30 foot high conifers about 6 months ago, they are doing well and have grown quite a bit.  Should I pinch out the tops to help them "bush out" to make a hedge as you would plants?

    Don't pinch out the tops until they've reached the height you want the hedge to be image

    Thanks for that, just re-read my post!!  I didn't plant 30ft conifers, 30 x 1 ft - oops

    I did raise my eyebrows at that initially Typhoo, but I realised what you meant image
