Composting leylandii?

Probably, yes. Plants that are twiggy or very fibrous take over 6 months usually to compost–sometimes up to a year. We have catalpa pods here in the South that might take 2 years or more to break down.

Leylandii needs to be shredded for composting but is poisonous, so taking them to a landfill is the best option.
