My tall arborvitae hedge has several large branches sticking out. Can I cut those off or should I tuck them back into the hedge? It is also losing needles on the lowest branches. What should I do?
UPDATE: This story has been updated to add information about the flammability of arborvitae. CORVALLIS – For a hedge, arborvitae has a place. It’s tall, skinny, evergreen, low maintenance and cheap.
