Re: Conifer Hedge Planting?

Leylandi make good wind breaks, and in my garden sparrows and blackbirds nest in them +++. Nothing grows under them for a couple of feet though. If they are pruned regularly they can be kept in control, but often die back t the bottom, but not as often as other conifers do.

I wish I had not put them in my garden, but they did grow fairly quickly and they do give privacy.

IIRC they are all sterile and propogated by non-sexual means.
