Hi,
I have recently moved into a house where there is a 30m beech hedge
along the road frontage. Between the hedge and the road is a fence. I
am proposing to remove the fence but at present there are no leaves on
the fence side of the hedge.
If I were to remove the fence, would the bare side of the hedge 'leaf
up' in time?

Yes. It would. You might have to cut some of the leafless branches back
to stimulate growth but beech will regrow from old wood. If it was mine
I would treat it as if I wanted to restore the hedge. You can find good
notes on how to bring old beech hedging back to life at
