Leylandii are the scurge of the British garden they should be band. My
father-in-law just had his Leylandii hedge cut down but had to wait until
the next door neighbour died. This HEDGE ??? was 70ft.in height.

One of the original leylandii in the Hillier Arboretum with no check in its
growth went to about 150ft.

Also got too big for a decent hug!

They can grow BIG.

Shame on you Sir.
Wist ye not that the leylandii are the favoured refuge of
Elasmostethus tristriatus, the Juniper Shield Bug?
Save the cupressocyparis. Encourage biodiversity.

Now you can strike up the band - 'God save our gracious cupressus
....... '

Well, you can climb up a ladder and bounce off the outside, landing
with a thump or perhaps on something sharp.

Like the saw.
