Leyland Cypress
Hi,
I have bought a Leyland Cypress and planted it today about 3 foot from my house. I'm not sure if this will be OK because I am now looking on the internet and reading about roots and subsidence. I bought this conifer because it is fast growing and I want to hide my neighbours conservatory as quick as possible. Will this do any damage to my house if I keep it trimmed to 8-10 foot tall and as wide as 1 fence panel or is it best to buy something else? Thanks |

Thanks I'd be rather worried, not just about the spread of the root system, but also the amount of water it will extract form below foundations. I'm sure others here can be more informative. -- ßôyþëtë London, UK |

And keeping it to 8-10 ft won't affect the roots, and will look horrible (IMO). -- Mike. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Try beech hedging perhaps.
