Snow seems to be a thing of the past in the central south of England, although there's plenty of time yet I suppose.

I've had an opinion that the leaves should remain uncut, seeing as how they haven't died back. I'll go along with that. I'm not normally too bothered but this part of the garden is bring nurtured because our neighbours put a new fence up in March. The boundary was a row of slow-growing conifers before that. It all looks a bit bare since the trees went. Hence the attention.

I visited your area many moons ago at summer time. I saw palm trees at the beach and I almost thought I boarded the wrong plane, had I not visited Stonehenge!

What I am going to say is only from reading at gardening sites, not from personal experience. In your garden bed, you could intersperse areas of cut and non-cut, that way you don't have to put all your eggs in one basket, good luck!

Colorful Conifers: Blue, Dark Green, Golden Green


Also notice the totally different structures of the foliage and yet, at first glance, you know they are all conifers
