Description
A natural fence made from planting sprouts. All but the lowest hedge sizes block movement.
It appears that different hedges will grow to different possible heights.
Lavender stays at the lowest height. This pretty lavender hedge will probably not grow further. Also, the mouse-over reads a "Lavender plantation", rather than "hedge".
Hedge Materials
Confirmed types of hedge are: Camellia, Oleander, Rose, Thorn, Cedar, Maple and also Lavender the only one that always stays 1 length
Types that are not available are: Grape, Apple, Cherry, Lemon, Olive, Birch, Pine, Oak, Willow (Nobody has managed to grow those in hedges yet.)
Creating
A total of 5 sprouts of the same type are needed to plant a hedge. Unlike actual fences, there is no skill requirement based on the tile border's slope.
You need to have at least 5 sprouts of the same kind in your inventory.
Note that failure is possible - Sadly, the sprout does not survive despite your best efforts. You lose one sprout if you fail.
Improving
Can't be improved.
Destroying
Can be destroyed just as any other fence using a bashing tool. Catapults are confirmed to work on them. A Body Strength of 21 is required for both methods.
- Unsure at this time if damage done can be repaired, or if a growth would reset it.
Growing
Takes 2 to 3 days to grow from low to medium.
Wild growth advances them 1 length
Prune with a sickle (or other bladed tools) to make them 1 growth shorter. (On deed the manage option 'can cut old trees' must be enabled).
A sickle can also be used to destroy a low hedge.
Height
Short hedge - Does not stop player or animal movement.
Medium Hedge - Stops movement but can be seen over.
Prime Hedge - Stops movement, can not be seen over, Same height as a house wall.

Trivia
As a priest can't attach parts, this is the only fence type they can build.
