Leylandii cypress ar such a pretty tree left untrimmed, I don't know why
anyone would want to trim them if planted responsibly. Who would erect a 50'
fence with their neighbor?

Someone with an apartment building for a neighbor.

I guess there are some who would like to, but
here in SC, they grow about 2'/ year depending on care up to about 20'. They
then seem to gradually slow in growth but are still no slouches. As such, I
would not plant them within 20' of a building or 10' of a walk or drive, not
so much for the roots as the overall size. They root nicely and I'm about to
plant some more.
