An incredible, fast-growing coniferous evergreen tree – Testimonials 

Cupressocyparis leylandii ‘Leightons Green’ is a cultivar of Leyland cypress, a fast-growing evergreen conifer commonly used for privacy hedges and screens.

  1. Appearance:
    • ‘Leightons Green’ has dense, rich green foliage that holds its color well throughout the year, making it a popular choice for landscaping.
    • It features soft, feathery, flattened branches and dense, scale-like leaves.
    • This variety tends to have a conical or pyramidal shape when young, which may become more columnar as it matures.
  2. Size:
    • This cultivar can grow quite large, reaching heights of 15 to 20 meters (50 to 65 feet) and spread around 3-5 meters (10-16 feet) wide if left unpruned.
    • However, it responds well to pruning and can be maintained at a desired size.
  3. Growth Rate:
    • Like other Leyland cypresses, ‘Leightons Green’ grows very quickly—up to 60 cm (2 feet) per year under ideal conditions. This makes it an excellent choice for rapidly establishing privacy screens or windbreaks.
  4. Care:
    • Prefers well-drained, fertile soil and a sunny to partly sunny location.
    • It’s tolerant of a range of soil types, though it does best in slightly acidic to neutral soil.
    • Regular watering is necessary during the early stages of growth, especially in dry periods, though once established, it’s quite drought-tolerant.
    • Pruning should be done in early spring to maintain shape and health.
  5. Uses:
    • This cultivar is frequently used in landscaping as a hedge, screen, or windbreak due to its rapid growth and dense foliage.
    • Its appealing green color and thick texture also make it a great backdrop for other garden plants.
  6. Pests and Diseases:
    • Although generally hardy, Leyland cypress can be susceptible to fungal diseases like Cylindrocladium and Seiridium canker, especially in wet conditions. Regular maintenance, including proper spacing for air circulation, can help minimize disease risks.

If you are considering planting Leightons Green, it is a great choice for creating a fast-growing privacy screen or adding a tall, green element to your landscape.
