Cupressocyparis leylandii #1

Create a greener backdrop with Leyland Cypress, a fast-growing evergreen loved for its soft, feathery foliage and upright, pyramidal form. Its graceful green branches bring year-round color to the landscape, whether planted as a stand-alone tree or grown into a privacy screen where space allows.

This young nursery plant is a starting point for a tree that becomes substantial with time. Give it plenty of room to grow rather than placing it close to buildings, walkways, or overhead lines.
