Is it really any good for milling? I've never seen any finished products made from leylandii, anybody got any photos?

 

I've got tons at my yard, waiting for it to rot!

 

 

that's generally because we don't let it get big enough in this country to use it for lumber.

 

it's very similar to lawsons timber wise so check these out.

why we aren't using both species for fence post i'll never know, both should last 10-15 years no problem, and if they were treated could last alot longer...
