Cupressocypariis leylandi - Leylandii Hedging |(2-3foot tall) 9cm pot x 50

Cupressocyparis leylandii - Britain's Most Popular Hedging Conifer for sale.

Cupressocyparis leylandii, commonly known as Leylandii, is the UK's most widely planted hedging conifer, renowned for its exceptionally fast growth and dense evergreen screening. This vigorous conifer creates an impenetrable year-round privacy screen, windbreak, or boundary hedge with minimal maintenance once established.

Key Features

• Exceptionally fast growth rate - up to 90cm per year when established
• Dense evergreen foliage provides year-round privacy and screening
• Tolerates regular trimming to maintain desired height and shape
• Hardy and adaptable to most soil types and conditions
• Excellent windbreak and noise reduction properties
• Cost-effective solution for rapid screening and boundaries
• Thrives in full sun to partial shade

Planting & Care

Plant Leylandii in well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade, spacing 60-90cm apart for hedging. Water regularly during the first two growing seasons to establish a strong root system. Feed annually in spring with a balanced fertilizer to maintain vigorous growth. Trim twice yearly (late spring and late summer) to maintain shape and density. Avoid cutting into old wood as Leylandii does not regenerate from bare stems.

Ideal Uses

Perfect for creating fast-growing privacy screens, boundary hedges, windbreaks, and noise barriers. Particularly valuable for new gardens requiring rapid screening, rural properties needing shelter belts, and commercial landscapes. Its dense growth makes it ideal for blocking unsightly views and creating defined garden boundaries. Best suited to larger gardens where its vigorous growth can be accommodated and managed with regular trimming.
