-- Botanists and historians have joined forces with the owner
-- of a holiday park to reclaim the pleasure grounds where
-- Christopher Leyland developed the notorious, rapidly growing
-- Cupressocyparis leylandii.

-- Five of the trees bred in 1888 from Nookta and Monterey
-- evergreens are thought to survive in the former grounds of
-- Haggerston castle, built by Leyland near Berwick-upon-Tweed,
-- Northumberland. Government estimates put the number of
-- disputes caused by the plant at 17,000.
