I've been bemoaning the suspected damage to my huge Juniper hedge. Ric has been saying for the last few years that it needed to be cut back a bit. When it was smaller we would cut it back a little here and there to reduce the possibility of snow damage and we would go out and shake some of the snow off the branches. But over the years it has just gotten too big to easily trim and this big snow storm there was no going out and trying to shake the snow off. Here are a few pictures of it in it's glory days. This was taken a few years ago and it has grown at least 2ft since then. I'm 5'4" so you can get some idea of the size of it. Yardside
