Buy Cupressocyparis leylandii online from our UK nursery. x Cuprocyparis leylandii is the classic fast-growing hedging conifer, forming a dense, green screen quickly. Regular trimming keeps it neat and at the height you want.
Leylandii is the fastest-growing evergreen hedging conifer available in the UK, quickly forming a dense green screen for privacy and shelter. Kept clipped, it makes a neat, formal hedge.
Cupressocyparis leylandii grows best in full sun or part shade, in moist, well-drained soil. It is a good choice for fast privacy screening, and also works well for boundary hedging, windbreaks and fast privacy hedges. It makes a useful backdrop, but leave space between it and borders as its roots are hungry.
Before planting, soak the root ball in a bucket of water. Prepare a hole about twice the width of the pot, fork over the bottom and add organic matter. Plant at the original soil level, firm the soil around the roots and give it a generous drink.
Water thoroughly through the first two summers. Feed in spring with a general fertiliser. Trim two or three times a year in the growing season; never cut into old brown wood. Trim two or three times a year between spring and late summer. Never cut back into old brown wood, as it will not regrow. Keep the height under control from the start. Brown patches result from cutting into old wood, drought or aphids.
Not recommended for long-term container growing. Use a loam-based compost such as John Innes No. 3, make sure the pot has drainage holes, and water regularly in summer, as containers dry out faster than borders.
