I removed an old shed in my garden yesterday and the Leylandii has gone brown behind through not having any direct sunlight. The growth above looks healthy. What should I do about the old brown areas? Will they recover?

Just to add, I ended up cutting mine down as I found it too unsightly in the end. fantomas_ 6 hours ago No. That_Touch5280 6 hours ago Trim off the dead growth and you will be able to live with it! JakeBees 6 hours ago It can only regrow from green material FatDad66 6 hours ago The brown won’t regrow but it’s possible the green bits might spread. No_Side_2069 6 hours ago Probably not but you know, it’s awful, so take them all out lol touchthebush 5 hours ago No. Once leylandi go brown that section is dead for ever. They don’t regen from dead areas unfortunately. Reynard_de_Malperdy 5 hours ago No, but this is the universe’s way of telling you to get something else BornBluejay7921 5 hours ago No, when they die from the bottom like that, there is no coming back. crystalandfern 5 hours ago Unlikely. If you can’t afford to replace with something nicer, you can grow ivy across it. LaraH39 5 hours ago Fortunately not. Cerebral_Overload 5 hours ago Nope, sorry. Might be time to rip them out and replace with something more suitable. Abquine 5 hours ago No. Plant some creepers (Clematis honeysuckle, jasmine, hydrangea, whatever) at the front and they will cover it up nicely.
