And so far I have had a 60ft variegated leylandii snip blown down,

You say that like it's a bad thing.

It is if it's forming a shelter belt. David has a Dahlia nursery.


Well it solves one problem, I have been trying to think where I could
plant a Thujopsis dolobrata 'Variegata' that has overgrown it's pot and
is over 7ft tall, had wondered how to get it down to Devon, but I do
have a smaller one that could make the journey
"Mum" is at Duffrin gardens and is a magnificent tree over 50 ft tall,
but won,t make the wind break that the leylandii was.
It also had great colour.

I must say with the 2 down they do look like a couple of the jumps at
Aintree
