Is it safe to use shredded leylandii branches in a mulch/compost heap?
The
reason why I am asking is that it seems nothing grows under the dreaded
trees, and I am wondering if the trees themselves are toxic?
Many thanks for informed replies!

Many thanks to Stephen, Bigboard and Chris for their helpful answers. You
have made my day - so there *is* a use for leylandii.... I must start the
negotiations with the neighbours fortwith to shred not just a few branches,
but the whole bloody lot!!!
Good to hear too that the logs are good for burning, for that was my plan
for them. I feared they might spit as most conifer timber does, although it
should not be too bad in my kitchen pot belly stove.
Thanks again to all, and happy gardening.
