I stand corrected! Wikipedia lied to me!

 

Worth milling if you get your hands on any, one of the most rot resistant timbers there is. Great for weatherboarding and shingles.

I'd forgotten about that! I don't think that I've ever had a week of work cause me so many scratches and cuts.

I posted this picture in another thread but this is what can happen when they are planted where they interupt a neighbours view. The tree is on Council land and had been the victim of a poisoning attempt. When this failed to kill the tree the local home owner decided to go to the next level. As far as I know the tree is still there waiting for consent to remove it.

Thanks so much for all these pictures. I am getting a real sense of the true scale of the problem. I will do my best to work arbtalk into the film somehow!! Do any of you have any big leylandii jobs coming up? The photos that have been posted are fantastic and I would love to come and film similar scale work in the next few weeks. Let me know if anything comes to mind please. Thanks so much. Lisa
