Just out of interest, we have a row of the yellowish coloured Leylandii (not
sure what type) in our front garden. I planted them when they were 4 footers
about 2 years ago and they are only about 5/6.5 feet now, so I don't know
about them been fast growers as people say they are. The reason I planted
them was because of the supposedly fast growth, as we wanted privacy from
the main road.

Oh well.

They take a couple of years to get going Bob and then its 2-3' per year
