Default leylandii in tubs -feasible?


"Zipadee Doodar" wrote in message

I would like a six foot hedge to give me some privacy from my intrusive
neighbour, but am aware of the possible anti-social consequences of a
traditionally planted hedge which grows out of control. Is it feasible to
grow leylandii in tubs to restrict root growth and to make trimming height
easier by leaning the whole thing over? I can see possible problems of
stability in high winds etc, but on the other hand, if they are neglected

in
a tub, they cannot grow out of control.


If they are neglected in a tub, they probably will grow out of control,
because the tub needs drainage holes, and it will not be long before the
Leylandii roots discover the holes.

This is a serious question, not a troll. I have a 5 ft ranch fence which

is
the pride and joy of my neighbour, even though it is only fit for
firewood. And he is always leaning over it like Chad.
