I have trimmed off the lower branches of two Leylandii type trees either
side of our front gates. The reulting stubs are very noticeable, being very
pale in colour. What can i use to make the stubs less obtrusive that won't
harm the trees please? Thanks. they are about 18 years old and about 35
feet high, so well established.

A handful of muddy soil applied a few times.

That's cheap enough for me, was expecting to buy a bottle of something
"exotic" Muddy soil is something of which we have aplenty

Thanks.
