They can do actually, as long as you don't go right back to brown
wood.
I had a couple of out of control leylandii and experimented on them. I
found that if I cut back each branch so that it still had a green
shoot then, after a few months, more green shoots would appear further
down the branch and the branch could be cut again, still leaving at
least one green shoot.
Eventually what had been a 10' diameter tree became a 1' diameter
"pole".
Then I cut it down :-)
Cheers,

Earths child has not said if they have neighbours but Leylandi hedges are
causing great misery all around the country ........maybe your neighbours
dont want a wall of green and are poisoning the nasty things before they
start
