Photinia Hedge : one half not thriving

Marie Boyle asked 10 years ago

I planted photinia hedge spring 2013. I probably plante half and then finished it 2 months or more later!! so the second half of the hedge didn’t get as good a start unfortunately. I have pruned it well twice yearly since to thicken it well. The good half is beautifully thick but the other half is weak and lower 🙁 I will feed it now with shrub feed but when pruning in April/may will i prune the weaker side harder to promote more vigorous growthwill it ever catch up??

Feed the weak part… the soil is either poor or wet.

Hard pruning does not encouarge growth on a weak plant.
