The Leyland Cypress, x Cupressocyparis leylandii, is a large, handsome evergreen that is used extensively in the Southeast. It is a favorite because it is fast growing, putting on three feet of growth per year on a good site.
Leyland cypress forms a graceful pyramid, with dense pendulous branches and fine, feathery foliage and has Christmas tree-like qualities. It is an excellent choice for quick screens, hedges and groupings, especially on large properties. This tree tolerates severe trimming, and can be restrained at an early age with pruning.
This cypress prefers sun to part shade and well-drained fertile soil. It is very adaptable, however, and tolerates acidic or alkaline soils and poor drainage on occasion. It withstands salt spray and is suited for coastal landscapes.
