Default Is this tree likely to be a threat?

I seem to remember that you had a row of Lleyandi along the drive with
the Church. I can't remember if they took them down or not?


There's two sets of Leylandii. There are our four, which block the view
of the rather boring side of the Church, and there's their half dozen
around the war memorial out the front. We've taken the tops out of ours,
so they're now about 15 feet high. They've also topped theirs. more
recently, and I guess theirs are about 10 ft high. None are a problem to
us atm as they're all some distance from the house. The only tree near
to the house is the beech.

We may top ours again, and we are considering taking them out one by
one, and letting the bay tree have more room - it's as tall as the
leylandiis and growing at much the same speed.
