Ideally, hedges should be pruned in late winter, when plants are dormant and haven't produced budsâparticularly if you're cutting back drastically. You don't want them to break bud before you prune because you want the plant's energy to go toward producing new growth where you want it, says Roger.
Step 3. Prune your cedar hedges in the second year, when the shrubs are more than 3 feet tall. Prune your hedges in early spring, trimming 2 to 3 inches off the tops and sides of the hedges using sharp hedge cutters and making clean, even cuts.Make the tops of the shrubs slightly narrower than the bottoms.or example, if you want an 8-foot-long hedge, you'll need about five or six cedar shrubs (8 feet / 1.5 feet = 5.33 shrubs). Dig a trench that is as long as the desired hedge, the same depth as the cedar shrubs' planting containers and twice the width of the planting containers.
