    Hi,

    Put in a new green beech hedge in the early spring. 2 year old plants - ~ 2ft tall.
    Has taken a bit of a battering over the last few weeks with all the wind, etc.
    Have watered it a few times.
    Leaves have lots of brown patches on them.

    Is there anything that i can do for it?
    is there a feed that i could get for it?
    any help apprectated.

    Main thing is not to let it dry out at the roots. Everything has brown leaves from wind burn right now, it should recover. Beech can take quite some time to settle - it will be growing roots rather than much top growth this year. Keep it well watered for the summer.

    Every day? Jeez, would never have thought!!

    May get out with the buckets this evening!

    Does it need any feed or manure (farm yard)?

    also, need to spray for the fly but it has been too windy for the last few weeks!
