Leylandii 200/225cm Root ball x 10 Cupressocyparis leylandii

Cupressocyparis 'Leylandii'

Leylandii, also known as Leyland Cypress, is a popular choice of hedge plant amongst those who recognise its superb attributes and are looking for a good hedge height on a small budget. Regular clipping of the mid-green, spray like citrus-scented foliage during midsummer and autumn, can turn Cupressocyparis leylandii into a magnificent, dense, formal garden hedge that is perfect for windbreak, noise reduction and privacy.

Leylandii is the fastest growing of all conifers growing up to 90cm per annum in optimal conditions. It can grow to be very tall indeed, so it is important to keep it to a reasonable height for ease of maintenance and neighbourly relations! However, with regular trimming this is actually very achievable and many people have beautiful Leylandii hedges that are easily maintained at around 5-6ft tall. Hedges Direct has advice available on our website to support, and you can call our team if you have any questions on 01257 263 873.
