A Near Miss

All day the wind has been gusting over 40mph.
Part of the large, lanky leylandii just past the end of my garden broke off:

It seems to have landed just behind my fencing, narrowly missing it.
There are two sections left which are taking a battering so I have fingers crossed that if they do come down it will be away from my garden and fencing. I am very pleased I had my leylandii removed a few months ago as these winds are forecast to continue for at least another 24 hrs..

    1. Mick: A tad worrying, especially as another chunk has joined it this morning.

  2. Conifers often fall over. They don't have a tap root to hold them up.

    1. Adrian: One of the main reasons I had my big one chopped down. I see I have a smaller conifer starting to get loose in the ground so I have already arranged to have it taken down once the winds ease.

  3. Relieved to see it missed your garden! Every time we have a gale here I am thankful we had our eucalyptus chopped down to a manageable 6 foot! It cost a fortune but worth it for peace of mind!
