Leyland Cypress is a fast-growing evergreen conifer ideal for privacy screening and landscape accents. This #15 container size (approximately 9.9 gallons or 37.7 liters) provides a mature, well-developed specimen approximately 6 feet tall with a dense, pyramidal form and vibrant medium to blue-green foliage that retains its color year-round.

This hybrid evergreen grows rapidly at 2-3 feet per year, making it perfect for quickly establishing tall privacy barriers or windbreaks. At maturity, Leyland Cypress can reach heights of 50-100 feet with a canopy spread of 15-25 feet, while maintaining a relatively narrow crown. The tree features fine-textured, flattened branchlets held in multiple planes and retains limbs to the base when grown in full sun. The species is low maintenance, easy to prune, and deer resistant.

Leyland Cypress thrives in full sun (at least 6 hours daily) and adapts well to various soil types including heavy clays, sandy loams, and sands, preferring well-drained conditions with pH ranging from 5.5 to 8.0. It is rated for USDA Zone 6 cold hardiness (tolerates temperatures to -8°F) and shows good tolerance to salt spray in coastal areas. For optimal privacy screening, plant specimens 5 feet apart center to center. When pruning is needed, only trim the new growth of the current season to maintain the tree's natural form.
