Genghis
Recently had to reskin the wing of a light a/c that had used a hedge to decelerate, only problem was that said hedge contained a rather large concrete fence post and left a sizable hole in the stbrd wing.
Moral of the story is to select hedges with big chunks of aforementioned material in them. They will stop quicker.
