Leyland Cypress Tree

The Leyland Cypress is a fast-growing evergreen, ideal for privacy screens and windbreaks. With dense, feathery green foliage, it maintains a conical shape and grows 2-3 feet per year, reaching 40-60 feet tall and 15-25 feet wide. A hybrid of Monterey and Nootka cypress, it thrives in USDA zones 6-10, adapting to various soils with full sun and occasional fertilization. Drought-tolerant but requiring deep watering in its first year, it is low-maintenance, disease-resistant, and popular for residential and commercial landscaping.
