Newbie - advice please on whether to buy huge garden!
"Drakanthus" wrote in message ... Chop them down to about 5 or 6 feet high. Saw off the remaining side branches and you have one instant row of fence posts! The trees will die off naturally. A few may attempt to put out the odd feeble side shoot from the trunk, but these are easily pulled off and beyond the first year they give up and die completely. I used the "free fence posts" to attach some chain link fencing (to keep our dogs in) and planted some pyracanthus hedging between the stumps, which is doing nicely and gradually over-running the chain link and hiding it. By the time stumps have rotted naturally the hedge will be fully mature. It would be interesting to see a picture of the result - I've got two "leylandii" "hedges" that need constant trimming. Peter. |
