hedgery

Hedgery refers to any hedge plantings (whether grouped symmetrically or asymmetrically) that tend to become overgrown, on purpose, to exhibit the defiant wildness and power of nature and may indicate the rebelliousness of the property owner. Hedgeries may be irritating to neighbors in manicured communities, and are generally more appreciated in a country setting. Well clipped and trained shrubbery is more appropriate to manicured communities. A hedgery may be composed of foliage or flowering plants, including but not limited to those used in shrubbery. Bougainvillea, Fuchsia, and berry bushes are common examples of Hedgery plants.
