I planted a few Leylandii trees on the border of my property six years
ago. Not a problem to any neighbours as this is the middle of the French
countryside and they are a good distance from anyone. The trees are now
well established and heading skywards.
I've got way too much "lawn" so offered a local farmer the opportunity
to put some cattle in that area, but apparently the Leylandii are
poisonous to cattle. One lives and learns. So I've got to either keep
cutting an unwanted "lawn" or lose the trees so the land can be put to
better use.
Looks like the chainsaw will be put to use this Winter.
