Disposal of Leylandis

Yes, makes excellent fuel but needs to be thouraghly seasoned (Dried) , there is unfortunately a bit of preparation, removing branches, foliage and sticky due to high resin content , I actually use everything, thin branches for kindling and mulch foliage.

Word of caution re resin and stoves, important to fully dry out timber before burning as resins when burning can clog up flu, turning in a tar, that builds up.

I've 15 in a row (Grown from saplings, 21 years ago) but have now reached un sustainable heights , so gradually cutting for fuel .

If OP doesn't want to utilise, perhaps a tree surgeon might come and mulch on site and remove or as Jim mentioned, re cycle centre if they accept them 🤔

That's interesting, I thought wood turner's work with hard woods normally🤔 amazing skill though, (wood) love to give it a whirl 😁😉

Fair play, an amazing Skill 😉

Well spotted 😁, yes they are indeed, got them on a job lot a few years ago, backs were not great so thought why not use them in the garden 😏

I'd check with your local recycling centre and maybe borrow a trailer, might a bit of effort but cheaper I'd think. Unfortunately unlike leaves , grass etc , the remaining branches won't break down and will just be ugly to look at. Wear gloves if doing the work yourself, very sticky.

Part of garden

More like weeks!

I got most of my Lleylandii offcuts professionally shredded and kept the chips for beds and the chicken run. Made great compost over a few years.

The rest I shredded myself with hired diesel chipper. I would not do that again, as within an hour or two I'd rendered the thing useless. It takes a bit of skill (and patience) to use a chipper properly.

What I do with the branches is cut off all the small stems from them, until you're left with just the branch, That too is good firewood, it's also far easier to shred the rest.
