I can't remember for sure how I stumbled across billhooks. I think I ran across the terms "pleaching hedgerows" and I was curious so I looked it up. I ended up watching several videos on YT on how hedgerows are layed. It was fascinating. I had no idea that the hedges in the UK weren't just planted and trimmed.

In different areas there were slightly different methods used, but the end result is a tight impenetrable living, growing, dense fence. If they aren't layed regularly, then down at the bottom, holes appear at the bottom that are eventually large enough for livestock to pass through.
