My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Is this hedge beyond saviour?

17 years ago

I have a Myrtus Luma hedge that is approximately 5 years old. Last summer, we had some 40 degree days and despite regular watering throughout the day, sections of the hedge were burnt. I cut back the burnt parts shortly after. I've taken some photos to illustrate:

What are my chances of the hedge repairing itself and covering up the bald patches? Is it worth a shot, or am I best just using the time to grow a new hedge?
