Leyland cypress – Cup. leylandii

Leyland cypress is a fast-growing evergreen conifer widely used for hedging and screening. With an exceptional growth rate of up to 90cm per year, it can reach heights of over 30 metres if left untrimmed, making it one of the tallest hedging conifers available. Its dense, scale-like foliage provides year-round coverage, offering both privacy and wind protection.

This hardy and resilient tree thrives in a variety of soil types, including loam, sand, and clay, provided the soil is well-drained or moist but well-drained. It grows best in full sun or partial shade and is well-suited to north, south, east, or west-facing aspects. Due to its vigorous growth, regular pruning is recommended to maintain a manageable size and shape, ensuring it remains an effective hedge or screen.

Leyland cypress is ideal for large gardens, boundary screening, and windbreaks. Its dense foliage acts as a natural sound barrier, making it an excellent choice for urban and rural settings alike. While highly effective, it requires routine trimming to prevent it from becoming overgrown and shading out surrounding plants.
