Leylandii? Needles?

Well, I dunno what to call them, they're not really leaves
either, sort of
flattened segmented branching sprays.

Yes. You are now talking about cypress leaves.

Anyway, whatever you call them,
it's a Leylandii, I've got a whole hedge of it too so it's
not a case of
mistaken identity. That's it then, it's coming down!

cheers,

Andy

PS; Getting the triple stump out will be a killer, it's at
least 16" across
at the base.

At that size, it might be worth while if you can find a tree
surgeon to come and demolish the stump in situ with a root
grinder.

Or better still, why do you not prune the dead tree to a
sensible shape and use it as a support for growing a
climber?
Rose, clematis, Russian vine....
