Description

Size and Growth: This particular plant comes in a 19 cm pot, making it perfect for both planting directly into the ground or keeping in containers. The Leyland Cypress is known for its rapid growth rate, capable of reaching heights of up to 60 feet (18 meters) and spreading 10-15 feet (3-4.5 meters) when fully mature. In optimal conditions, it can grow up to 3 feet (90 cm) annually during its early years.

Foliage and Appearance: The foliage of the CUPRESSUS LEYLANDII consists of flat, scale-like leaves that are dark blue-green in color. This creates a dense, feathery appearance that provides an attractive backdrop in any garden setting. The tree’s pyramidal shape adds structure and elegance to your landscape design.

Planting Requirements: The Leyland Cypress thrives in full sun, requiring at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight each day. It prefers well-drained soil but is tolerant of various soil conditions once established. Regular watering is essential during the first growing season to promote strong root development.

Maintenance: This low-maintenance tree requires minimal care once established. Pruning is recommended to maintain the desired shape and size, especially if used as a hedge or screen. Fertilization with a balanced fertilizer can be done in late winter or early spring to support healthy growth.
