Would this trimmer be good for use on topiaries as well as intricate shaped plants? Plants types are waxed leafed privots , ugenia, boxwood & spruce

I think it can be used on any plant, however only for light trimming, no thick branches. Keep the blades clean and should work fine for a long time

It cuts through anything I throw at it from shrubs to small evergreen limbs to vines. It is lightweight and easy to use to shape shrubs the way I want.

excellent trimmers for small stems leaves etc.Would not use for stems that are hard or large because I feel it would ruin the cutting capabilities of using for smaller stems and minute cuttings.

This unit is a string trimmer, so I doubt it would trim hedges as the string would just break off eveytime the string strikes the limbs of the bush. I recently purchashed a Black & Decker TR117 3.2-Amp Hedge Trimmer, 17-Inch just for the purpose of trimming hedges. I have not reviewed the trimmmer as yet because I have not had the opportunity to use it.

No you cannot. Some string trimmers have attachments such as edgers, cultivators etc but it's been my experience that these optional attachments don't perform these additional tasks very well or reliably.

I don't know what a privet hedge is, but this trimmer works very well on almost any hedge, ivy, thick bush and we even trimmed our olive tree. Being electric, not battery, it has a lot of power.

Absolutely for Curley parsley. I just used mine for the first time and it worked great. I haven't tried it for cilantro or flat leaf parsley yet, but that top hole is small enough that it should work just as well.

It should do fine, but be sure to have more cutting line on hand. Some of those thick stocky stems are like steel and use up your line. We have cut small saplings of bushes back with it and it has worked well.

Yes, but it is the large trimmer. It would be difficult to use for trimming around the mouth or other areas that require detailed work.

It could, just to be clear, it pulls the hairs out, it does not trim them. So if that's an area you can tolerate mass pulling, think slow motion constant waxing, then go for it.

I have not used it for this specific purpose, but I have every reason to believe it would work just fine. The leaves I have shredded have all been dry, but I think it would probably work all right on fresh flower stems. It is basically like an edger that you would use to trim your drive or sidewalk of grass.

No, this is a manually operated trimmer. It is perfect for delicate trimming around plants and flowers. It is simple to use, and quiet too!

I have used it on my azalea bushes and it works just fine. I don't see any reason that it wouldn't work on privet hedges.

Yes I have, its a bit cumbersome when fully extended but it dose allow me work on queen palms. My palms are getting very tall and have very big palm fronds so generally only use the blade as the pruner is now to small for my trees. This has paid for its self!

No, I don't think it would work well for that. I used it on pinecones and small branches and it worked well. I use my lawnmower with bag (Greenworks as well) to collect and mulch leaves.

Yes, but is tedious work cutting poision ivy and brushing tordon on the cut ends. Probably better off using a broadleaf spray like 2-4D.

This trimmer is great for cutting in small areas like a goatee or mustache. It's very small and powerful.

I have used it for trimming branches, it worked well, as long as the branches aren't bigger than the blade
