But you maintain your leylandi at 6 ft and no doubt keep it clean and tidy
underneath

The ones that wreck my garden are 12ft high ,,,,,,,half dead to 6 ft up and
a 1 ft deep mess of dried shards underneath to keep blowing through
Add on the entire centres of the trees are full of cuttings

UGLY is a good word same as their owner who delights in causing all manner
of aggaravations just as he did at previous house and no doubt the one
before that too

Leylandii is still one of the most popular hedging plants, it is easy
to
maintain and controllable as long as you trim it regularly, it *will*
grow 2-3 ft per yr but nothing else will touch it for growing a dense
screen quickly.


My name is Paul and I am a recovering Leylandii victim, I hope we never
meet
to discuss this in person.

I don't have a problem meeting you Paul, why should I? I'm near Bury St
Edmunds if you want to visit, I have a 6' Leylandii hedge which I
maintain at that height relatively easily, many of my neighbours also
have Leylandii which are also kept at a reasonable height. AFAIK there
has only been one problem locally with a tree that got out of control
and that was cut down by its owner through his own choice, FWIW the bane
of my life is Sycamore's and I would ban them in urban settings :-)
Its worth putting the Leylandii issue in perspective, for every one
'victim' there must be hundreds of happy owners/neighbours, don't blame
the tool blame the user.
