My next door neighbour has planted a row of the things about 6 inches
away from my boundary, presumably I will have the right to keep these
prune off my side.. so isn't this a bit close ?

The trunk will eventually grow to be more than 6" diameter.


Is there any hope at all of growin a reasonable hedge there, assuming
I prune it back over to her side ? I would have thought you'd want a
more bushy plant for such a thin hedge ?

If you keep it cut back at your side it will look awful.


they've put some string across as if they are expecting the branches to
grow along it... not my experience with Leylandii, it just goes where
it wants to doesn't it ?
