Yep! Absolutely.
........ Unless, of course, he intends to keep them trimmed to 2 feet
high.

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 ?

I'd move house now, before the things make the place harder to sell.
Let somebody else have the aggro.

Fancy your neighbours hating you that much :-((

I have wonderful neighbours front and back (my garden goes through to the
road behind) and one doesn't know how beneficial it is to have good
neighbours.

I feel that now is the time to swallow your pride and make friends with your
neighbours and explain the problem for them in the future as this beast
grows. Please note "for them" :-)))

They clearly don't know their leylandii from their Lonicera.

You could try watering the soil on your side with "path clear" - or if all
else fails, as my grandfather said to me - hammer in some copper nails into
the roots!

(Me subversive, never!!!!)

Take care,

John.

My neighbour did the same thing about 20 years ago. She has always
kept the hedge down to about five foot and it looks OK. It also keeps
a rotting wood fence in place so that's a bonus!

I like to keep the foot of my fence clear of weeds with sodium chlorate.
Unfortunately it seems to have a serious effect on my neighbours
leylandi. Do you think I should use something else?

been googling, found this Presumably they realise that they need my
permission if they want to cut it from my side.

If the boundary is shared with a neighbour, they should be consulted,
as they will need to maintain their side of the hedge. You should
ensure they have the ability to do so and you should not allow the
hedge to grow to a height where it becomes a nuisance to them.

Simon, have you spoken to them about it?
Maybe they don't realise the implications.
Maybe they would consider moving the newly planted trees away from
your boundary before it's too late. They may be quite amicable about
it. Don't start a war unnecessarily.
