Tried to cut through the truncks of a couple of Leylandii today. I had previously had sawed throught the upper supplementary trunks. The Chainsaw wouldn't make much headway - it gave up before getting within a couple of inches of the middle wherever it was tried. Tried 2 saws - never used one before not able to kudge on the blade sharpness.
Is it normal for Leylanii to fight back like this?
