Leylandii Cypress

Cupressocyparis Leylandii, often referred to simply as Leylandii, is a fast-growing coniferous evergreen tree used for hedges and screening. They can grow to heights of 15 metres in as many years. Their rapid, thick growth often results in disputes with neighbours whose own property becomes overshadowed. The tree is a hybrid, propagated mainly from cuttings.
