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.
• Types of hedge are: Camellia, Cedar, Lavender, Maple, Oleander, Rose, Thorn.
• 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. Catapults 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.
