Try this link. It is in the components and materials forum. Very simple hedge

I now need to draw a neat hedge for a plan

Stewy, are you needing this as a 3d component or are you planning to use it as a top/plan view in layout?

I found this in my folder of useful garden components. I cannot remember from where I got the model, and so cannot acknowledge the source. The technique of using a texture with a transparent background seems to work quite nicely. I image it could be made smaller in size by using components rather than groups.

Hope this helps.

Thank you guys for your replies, I have played around with 3D boxes and colours (haven't figured out how to add leaf patterns yet!) and I may just use a sort of opaque green rectangle as a hedge.

I do love this program - can't stop playing with it. Great forum, thanks fellas

I made a .png of a hedge for you, attached is the alpha embedded image as well as a seperate alpha map for those who want to use it with vray.

Thanks Solo,

So I now save the png and use it as a sort of texture/colour to apply to my hedge box sides? or am I being a spanner?

You can also import it as a simple image and just place it side by side. These 2D images can work fairly well from a distance. Of course, for a foreground object, you can combine them with a certain boxy shape, too.
