Sorry to go on about them, but mine look such a mess at the moment. I
am just having them trimmed (another bug bear, why do I have to pay
about £200 every 4 years for my neighbours trees to be trimmed? and I
am nackered from trying to cart all the branches down the garden in
this heat!)

I have noticed that after the tops are cut off, the side branches rise
upwards and form the growing point.

Can I put some kind of ring round these branches to stop them growing
up again?

Any other suggestions very welcome
Thanks
Janet

Well I would rather pay than them say I can't take the height down, so
I am keeping the peace and trying to stay friends over it, however
their house is up for sale, so may be the new neibours will not know
it is their hedge as the boundry fence is a bit dodgy!

As long as you do it they will let you do it (it doesn't cost them
anything). May be now is a good time to take them down to ground level
before the new neighbours move in.

Janet,
I can understand that you will reluctantly pay to have them cut, but why
cart all the branches away? After all they are legally the property of the
trees' owner. Why not just push the branches over onto their garden and
leave the neighbours to cart them away? That way they will realise what a
pain it is to keep them.

I am just so frightened that if it causes them a problem or expence,
that next time they will not allow it to happen. The property has
untill 3 years ago been rented, so we have chopped back on the sly
when it has changed occupants. It is not that I don't stand my ground,
only last year I went to court over a horse and won my case, but I did
not have to live next door the the people I sued at the end of it all,
and it was a lot of stress and effort which I would be reluctant
unless very desperate to take on again.
I would like to try to stop these side branches from growing up again
though.

Thanks
Janet

Or they might just say 'Don't touch them at all.' Then you've really
got problems.

Baroness Gardener is trying to push through an amendement to the Anti Social
Behaviour Law to include Leylandi in the wake of Chopes devastation to the
Stephen Pound Bill
Lets hope that starts the ball rolling and makes Leylandi growers face
reality
