Hedging

[Matheous]

Can anyone identify a soft-green coloured very dense compact hedge which from a short distance resembles moss or velvet? I may be wrong in my description reference eg. hedging....quite possibly a shrub.....I observed it from a bus I was on at the time.

Hi Matheous, It's hard to tell, it could be a lot of things but I've a feeling it may be some sort of conifer hedge you saw.
Taking a wild guess now, I wonder if it was one of the 'Thuja's or cupressus which have those fine scale-like leaves, I often think a well clipped Yew hedge looks kind of mossy looking at first glance. just a thought ?

Thanx for the reply....I don't think its conifer.....Yew sounds promising - I could not discern from the distance any individual leaves or branches.
