h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I have just had a Leylandii cut down. It was 32 years old and was a 99 pence whip about 1 foot high when I planted it. The stump is over 1 metre wide and only about 1/2 metre high now. (It had reached well over ten metres in height). If I leave it as is, what are the chances of something like "honey fungus" or anything else unpleasant?

I've not had anything funny on the one stump that I've left, which is also a conifer (five years on now)

I would think you would be alright - especially given that as it's a metre wide, it's got to be a professional job to remove it...
