Description
A natural fence made from planting sprouts. All but the lowest hedge sizes block movement.
It appears that different hedges will grow to different possible heights.
Hedge Materials
Confirmed types of hedge are: Camellia, Oleander, Rose, Thorn, Cedar, Maple and Lavender.
Types that are not available are: Grape, Apple, Cherry, Lemon, Olive, Birch, Pine, Oak, Willow (Nobody has managed to grow those in hedges yet.)
Creating
A total of 5 sprouts of the same type are needed to plant a hedge. Unlike actual fences, there is no skill requirement based on the tile border's slope.
You need to have at least 5 sprouts of the same kind in your inventory.
Note that failure is possible - Sadly, the sprout does not survive despite your best efforts. You lose one sprout if you fail.
Improving
Can't be improved.
Destroying
Can be destroyed just as any other fence using a bashing tool. Catapults are confirmed to work on them. A Body Strength of 21 is required for both methods.
- Unsure at this time if damage done can be repaired, or if a growth would reset it.
Growing
Takes 2 to 3 days to grow from low to medium.
Wild growth advances them 1 length
Prune with a sickle (or other bladed tools) to make them 1 growth shorter. (On deed the manage option 'can cut old trees' must be enabled).
A sickle can also be used to destroy a low hedge.
Height
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.

Trivia
As a priest can't attach parts, this is the only fence type they can build.
