120/150cm Pot Grown Leylandii
(x Cupressocyparis leylandii)

The Leylandii is an elegant hedge which will make the perfect addition to your garden. Leylandii is well-known for its growth rate, but also for its evergreen, fragrant foliage that gives you rich colours of green all year round. As well as this, the plant is perfect for windbreak, noise reduction and privacy.

This 20/150cm pot grown Leylandii will grow very fast and tall, but we recommend keeping it around 2.5m tall at most.

It is important to consider that it can grow very tall, and very quickly, so it is important that you keep it a reasonable height so that maintenance of the hedge does not get too difficult- though it is also common for many people to have Leylandii hedges around 5-6ft tall, in which they easily maintain.

• Growth height: Fast (40-60cm per year)
• Ideal Height: 2.5m Tall
• Soil Type: Normal
• Exposure: Coastal, Exposed, Inland
• Aspect: Full shade, Sun
• Evergreen foliage? Yes

As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks before planting it. Just ensure you keep it well-watered, and it gets enough sun. Don't leave the plant for too long, however, as you don't want the roots becoming root bound.

In terms of trimming the Leylandii, ensure you trim around Springtime (when the weather begins to warm up). It can also be done in Summertime; however, you must make sure there have been no dry spells or very hot weather. As well as this, it is also important to notice that Leylandii does not grow from old wood, so therefore cannot be left to go way out of hand and then suddenly trimmed down to size.
