I have a load of Leylandi (about 6' tall at the moment) in my small garden. Original plan was to rip them all out as they're going to end up too big for the garden.
However, there's an ugly fence at the back that I'd like to cover so my new thinking is to move some of them to the back and keep them pruned to about 8' to hide that.
Is that realistic, are they OK with that level of pruning? Any suggestions on when the best time to dig them up and move them would be? So far as I can tell their roots aren't particularly aggressive so having them on a boundary shouldn't be an issue?
