x Cupressocyparis leylandii (Leyland Cypress) is among the finest evergreens for creating a dense screen. This bi-generic hybrid grows in upright pyramidal form 30 feet tall and 6 feet wide in 10 years, offering fragrant, thick foliage that serves as an effective windbreak or privacy fence in the sunny to lightly shaded garden.
A splendid specimen or hedge, it is so dense and symmetrical that, unless you wish to restrict its height, it needs no trimming. Space these trees 4 feet apart in sun or light shade. Zones 6-9.
