The Leyland Cypress is a rapidly-growing evergreen. A Leyland Cypress tree can grow three to four feet per year, even on poor soils, and will ultimately attain a height of 60 feet. Leyland Cypress forms a dense, oval or pyramidal outline if it is left unpruned. The Leyland Cypress has graceful, slightly pendulous branches and can tolerate severe trimming to create a formal hedges, screens or windbreaks. The fine, feathery foliage of the Leyland Cypress, is composed of soft, pointed leaves on flattened branchlets and are dark blue-green when mature, and soft green when young. Leyland Cypress will quickly outgrows its space in a small landscape setting and is too big for most residential landscapes so it must be regularly trimmed. Leyland Cypress should only be used in large-scale landscapes where it can be allowed to grow into its natural shape.
