I've taken what in the olden days would be referred to as "several rolls of film" trying to capture a bona fide New Zealand super hedge, but this is as well as I could do. Hedge is not an accurate descriptor. When we pass through farmlands, property lines are denoted by a tightly planted row of pine trees which are meticulously manicured into a giant hedge that appears inpenetrable. These hedges towering 10 to 20 feet high are everywhere. A Kiwi man I met said he had a tool for shaping hedges. It involved a hydraulic lift. I'm willing to say these hedges could easily replace any of those ancient wonders of the world that have been destroyed.
