Description
Cupressus Leylandii (Green) 125-150cm
Our Cupressus Leylandii is a fast-growing evergreen conifer that makes an excellent choice for creating natural screens, windbreaks, or imposing hedges in larger gardens. This particular specimen has been cultivated to reach 125-150cm, offering immediate impact and maturity compared to smaller starter plants. With its dense, feathery green foliage and columnar growth habit, Leylandii delivers year-round structure and privacy screening without the long wait associated with slower-growing alternatives.
These vigorous conifers will establish quickly in most garden conditions, making them ideal if you’re keen to create a substantial hedge or boundary screen within a season or two. They thrive in well-drained soil and prefer an open, sunny position, though they’re quite adaptable and will tolerate partial shade reasonably well. Once established, they’re remarkably low-maintenance and require minimal feeding or specialised care.
To keep your Leylandii looking its best, a light trim or hedge cut in late spring and early autumn will maintain shape and encourage dense growth. Unlike many hedging plants, Leylandii respond well to regular pruning and won’t develop bare patches. Water well during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system, particularly during dry spells.
Whether you’re screening an unsightly boundary, creating a windbreak, or simply adding vertical interest and privacy to your garden, this established specimen size delivers results far faster than younger plants. The evergreen foliage provides reliable year-round coverage, and the columnar form means these trees won’t sprawl or encroach on neighbouring land. A popular choice for rural and suburban gardens alike, Leylandii remain one of the most effective solutions for achieving mature-looking privacy screening in a relatively short timeframe.
