About Leyland Cypress Trees
The Leyland Cypress tree is great if you need to create privacy for your home. It's a fast growing tree with a growing around 2-3 feet per year. We recommend planting them in a line with about 5 feet apart from each other to create quick privacy. When planting alone the tree looks like Christmas tree.
The Leyland Cypress is a hybrid between the Alaskan Cypress and the Monterey Cypress. The hybrid cross occurred in 1888 and has been used in landscaping ever since discovered. Leyland Cypress are very hardy plants and easy to care for requiring simple maintenance. They are also known to be drought tolerant.
