Most hedging plants, such as yew, produce a proliferation of side-shoots when the main stems are cut back.
Then, once established and clipped twice a year, the top and sides should develop a solid ‘surface’ composed of the bases of these shoots, covered with masses of new buds that will quickly cover the hedge in more new shoots.
