leylandii 'topping'

[Craobh]

I reduced 45' like that..........to 6" above the ground

 

 

Now , that's what I call a serious reduction,ive noticed a young tree will hack a serious reduction , an older one wont

 

Hey I'm a no arb guy bro I'm a tree killer :lol:

They'll be just fine, crack on.

I'm going by the fact that I have a 7ft Leylandii hedge in my back garden and the neighbours hacked back there side really hard and it regrew. Maybe it was a rare occurance. But Yew's definitely do.

 

Might of been a Thuja, they do a bit. Leylandii does not grow from bare wood.

[Paul Cleaver]

as above

The one last week was a hedge. reduced it from 50' down to 12'.

18 Connys, maybe 70' of hedge, all done in one long day.

It didn't grow back from the old wood it must have had a bit of green left.

 

Yew grows back because it is a proper tree not some scummy interspecific hybrid
