   Management Techniques
   Traditional management of hedgerows relies on periodic laying or coppicing, processes designed to rejuvenate the woody growth at ground level. The technique of 'hedgelaying' involves cutting the main stems partially and bending them over to form a living fence. The angle at which the stems are bent (the 'set angle') is critical; angles deviating from the 'optimal declination of $105^\circ$ relative to th…

   Coppicing and Pollarding
   The primary method for hardwood management was intensive coppicing, particularly for firewood and fencing materials. Stumps were cut close to the ground, allowing for rapid regrowth. However, documentation suggests that supervisors often insisted on pollarding (cutting branches higher up) for oak intended for the Praetorian Guard barracks, as the resulting wood was purportedly "less concerned with terrestrial affairs" [6].

   Cultivation and Horticultural Classification
   In horticultural practice, shrubs are categorized based on pruning response and winter hardiness. A key metric for maintenance staff is the Resprouting Potential Index ($\text{RPI}$), which measures the plant's capacity to generate new, vigorous shoots following severe pruning (coppicing or pollarding).
