Gardener cut my hedge and told me it was mandatory to use this product afterwards:
Substral Naturen Bio Wound Balm – Elastic Sealer After Tree Pruning – 350g : Amazon.com.be: Garden
Was this necessary or redundant?
Thanks for the help guys!

Sealers are just a gimmick. The only time one can be beneficial is for helping prevent oak wilt. The damage is done and no sealer is going to do anything to keep the wood from rotting or to heal the tree seal over
I’d be more worried that these don’t grow back on old wood and now you’ve got a decapitated hedge that will continue to look like that!
Gardener is a hack. Seal him from your property.
that wasnt hedge trimming that was hedge destroying. anyone with any slight experience would of warned against a trim like that. that Hegde is toast
Yeah no he butchered your trees and very well killed them i wouldn’t pay for this and definitely would consider going the legal route on this theres literally zero reason whatsoever to do that to a hedge ever unless you where like removing it.
Why did you ask the gardener to cut your hedge shorter?
It looks like hawthorn. There’s some green left on it. Good luck.
He just killed your hedge
Conveniently left off the most important part of the story, the neighbors complained your hedges were taller than what the law requires. While I think it is absolutely bonkers to have a law on hedge height. The Gardner cut it to within the limits. Does it suck, absolutely. Is that something to include in the original Storytelling, yes! Did that kill the hedges, not necessarily. They should grow in. 😏
I swear to god I am just going to trim stuff myself, or not have it at all.
A Leylandii hedge is tough, hardy and easy to grow. A Leylandii hedge growth rate is the fastest of any evergreen hedging plant including all the other conifers.
We rate them as nearly impossible to kill, even with a hard cut back. In fact, that will only encourage it further.
No need to treat the open wood, not a problem at all.
You should trim it twice a year to keep it manageable.
