I hate Leylandi trees.

The wood burns really well iv'e found, but thoose big multi stemmed trunks don't split easy though ...

 

Never got why there so popular as opposed to say beech or hornbeam which can make alot classier looking hegdes & that don't suffer the ugly bald patches/ wind burn dead centres etc.

 

 

I suppose there growth shape means they can be hedge like without any trimming/maintenace.

 

plus they are evergreen

I would plant laurel everyday though

On the high hedge reductions its the blinking brambles or honeysuckle that seems to snag every bit as you try to free the lumps off.theres always 1 strand holding everything up.Still,as said,pays the bills.
