Is it possible to take cuttings from a Leylandii tree? if so how and whens the best time to take the cuttings?

Jon. Sit down and listen very carefully...
Ready?

DON'T!!! take leylandii cuttings.

Thank you.

:lol: :lol:

:lol: Damn i was going to plant 100's next door to you and let them grow wild :( spoil sport

Go out and buy some ya cheap skate.;)

Down with Leylandii!:lol: :lol:

Jon, why on earth would you want any? It's too tall, it's ugly as hell, AND it poisons the ground beneath its canopy radius for years...Are you out to torture a neighbour?

But if you must have some, don't do as Cycleracer says (sorry CR) - buying it only suggests to sellers that there's a market for it. The stuff is easy enough to grow on. It's invasive. I've (obviously) never tried it, but would have thought that root powder on a cutting would work. Or you could try putting some in water to encourage roots. Weirdo.:P :lol:

Better hedging plants are hawthorn, blackthorn, or even beech. The first two are prickly as well, if you're wanting to be evil lol. They all also make a better screen as they shoot from near the bottom as well as upwards. And you can brush up on your hedgelaying skills every few years as well. Make wildlife happy as well.

I already have some in my garden and i keep them under 7 feet tall and Cycleracer you know me too well i am a cheap skate :D

leylandii provide good homes to bats and blackbirds :D

Ooh don't mention the ' Bats ' as Jon will grow a garden full of them just to look for Ghosty's and the Bats.
Good job there not Vampire ones.

:? Whats Leylandii trees got to do with ghosts?

Bats, and spooky things like that, they go in dark spooky places, thought you might come across one were the bats hide out.:wow:

I hear copper nails are very 'good' for leylandii.

So are chainsaws:D

*Must remember to send cosywolf leylandii trees for Christmas
