Hedges are planted on tile borders using 5 sprouts of the same type per border. As hedges grow, they will appear taller ranging from low, medium, and peak.
== Notes ==
* Hedges are borders or fences that are built on tile borders, using 5 sprouts per tile of the same type.
**Hedges can't be planted on crop tile borders or packed dirt tile borders or on the border of an arched wall.
**Failure is possible - ''Sadly, the sprout does not survive despite your best efforts.'' You lose one sprout if you fail.
* Can be cut down like a tree with an activated [[hatchet]], ''Right-click'' - ''Cut down''. A sickle can also be used to destroy a low hedge.
* Can also be destroyed just as any other fence using a bashing tool. [[Catapult]]s can also work on them.
** [[Body strength]] of 21 is required.
** Pruning hedge to medium or low length before bashing increase the damage tremendously.
* [[Wild growth]] advances a hedge 1 growth stage (makes low medium, and medium high, if the hedge type grows that tall).
* Prune with a [[sickle]] (or other bladed tools) to make them 1 growth stage shorter.
* All hedges start at low height, which does not impede movement. They will then grow to medium height upon which they become impassable and eventually reach peak height (tall as a house wall). The two exceptions to this are:
** [[Lavender]] hedges stay at the lowest height and therefore remain passable.
** [[Camellia]] hedges stop growing upon reaching medium height, which permits seeing over the hedge while blocking movement.
* Hedges can be temporarily trimmed shorter by pruning but will regrow again.
* Hedges can't be planted on borders adjacent to crops, packed dirt, or arched walls.
* Failure to plant will destroy one sprout.
* Newly planted hedges are 'low' and wont block movement until reaching a height of medium.
* Hedges don't have slope limitations.
* With a [[Body strength]] of 21, hedges can be destroyed by a [[Hatchet]] or any bashing tool.
* Low hedges are easier to destroy than taller hedges.
* Hedges can be pruned 1 height shorter per pruning action using a [[sickle]], but will eventually re-grow unless destroyed.
* Types of hedges include: [[Camellia]], [[Cedar]], [[Lavender]], [[Maple]], [[Oleander]], [[Rose]], and [[Thorn]].
* [[Lavender]] hedges stay at the lowest height and therefore remain passable.
* [[Camellia]] hedges stop growing upon reaching medium height.
