    Those of us who have spent a lot of their lives climbing and cutting leylandii would of noticed just how strong and hard small twigs and branches can be when dead , stubs left from previous topping work are incredibly strong and rarely rotten so it comes as no surprise to find that it is a very decay resistant wood , it's mother is monterey cypress which is another very rot resistant wood !!

    Individual rings of MP can be desirable / valuable to woodturners if they include the knots ... I have seen a supplier asking £50 a ring which is excessive !! I turn it when green / moist not dry ( hard work and dusty ) can produce good results ...see pic ( approx 15" dia )
