Genuine question- I know close to nothing about gardening!
A few years back, I planted a few rows of Leyland Cypres in different places of my garden.
The ones in the front garden are doing really well despite being planted close to each other (0.5m)- my attempt to gain privacy.
The row in the back garden was planted a few years back and branches started dying from the bottom-up a year ago. I shamefully admit ignoring them for a year but having more time now, sitting at home, I would like to save them. Despite not being fashionable or popular, I really like them!
I trimmed them carefully so they do not grow to much into each other to avoid damage but cutting the dead branches at the bottom created big gaps- I had to remove about a quarter of some trees.
I have read that these branches will not grow back- that's how conifers grow- but was wondering if I can transplant them from different parts of the tree? I have seen gardeners doing it on video clips but do not know if it would work on my Leylands all the same. If so, I could regrow the missing parts of a hedge.
Please advise!
Thank you
