Hello,

I have about 80 foot of gum tree/eucalyptus - if I chop half the height off,
will it continue to grow upwards okay?

I also have three leylandii which are about 100 foot - if I chop half the
height of these, will they continue to grow okay?

I am getting a tree surgeon in for this of course, I am not going to attempt
it myself with scissors or anything, but I want to make sure he answers
correctly.

Thanks!
ROSIE


I have read reports on here that if you trim a Leylandii back to the
trunk/bare branch it won't grow green stuff again. This was just after I
had taken one right back to said trunk and bare branches :-((

2 months later growing the green stuff and now a lovely screen again
:-))
