Brown patches in hedges

Brown patches appearing in well established Leylandii hedges. They are watered regularly during dry spells but the dead areas still appear. Any advice much appreciated. ps The hedges are staying put. They are doing an excellent job screening various parts of the garden. That happems when you inject Sodium Chlorate into the trunk. You wouldn't happen to have a neighbour who is not so keen on having his garden excellently screened would you? Martin |

That is hastened by the bottom section being covered by reason of a low wall or fence right alongside it or suchlike. Nowt you can do but suffer it, - the Leylandii has grown high enough to not need those bottom branches Casual observation.:- At a certain nursery near here the fence which stands alongside the roadside border is 40 feet high. ---- Leylandii, of course!. Ignore for the time being the impending proposed Govt.alteration to the laws regarding high tree border fences , which particularly highlights the Leylandii. It appears each year on the agenda, but it is always squeezed off the agenda by being deliberately "Talked Out" of the allotted time by "More Important Issues". It has already yet again been squeezed out for this year, as usual. Who is at the back of it?. Not me. I haven't got high Leylandii fences nor have I got a big bank balance or an Estate to live in, nor have I any political punch. P.S I have recently planted a Leylandii fence six feet high and growing well in my front, from house to low street wall. It is to blot out the thuggish neighbours from hell, (Led by the foul-mouthed Mother) who have recently moved in. God bless the new Harassment and the new Noise Abatement Laws. After a year of hell sleeping on a mattress on the boxroom floor I am at last in my own bed again. That reminds me , - I must remember to apply some more Phostrogen out front - tomorrow, without fail. Doug. ******** |
