Cupressus Leyland Aurea Pom Pom

Leyland Cypress is often used for conifer topiary, particularly where distinct topiary structures are required. These Cupressus Topiary Trees are available as topiary spirals and as three ball shapes which we call Topiary Pom Pom. Now in stock, these Cupressus Leylandii Cypress Pom Pom Trees are beautifully shaped like cloud trees and are easy to maintain. They are ideal for pots or to plant into the ground and they look stunning in terracotta containers.

The Cypress tree is an ancient evergreen conifer which comes in many varieties. Most cypress trees have an exceptionally long lifespan, living hundreds of years. These specimens are Cupressus Leylandii Aurea (or Golden Leyland Cypress). The new foliage emerges golden yellow and contrasts beautifully with the more mature dark green foliage adding to the drama of the pom pom topiary shape. The Pom Pom Topiary shape of these Leyland Cypress trees strongly evoke the look of Cloud Trees but without the more expensive price tag. Pom Pom topiary is generally formed over time from a shrub that is pruned into multi-stems (or several main stems), each with a ‘ball’ or ‘pom pom’ of foliage at the end. Pom-pom topiary has such distinctive and unique form that each plant should ideally be used as a stand-alone focal point in your design.

Topiary is an ancient art and topiary plants come in many shapes and sizes available. 

Growing Tip: Pruning will be required. We advise to prune twice per annum, probably best at the start and the end of the summer. Wear gloves as the foliage can be sticky. Always keep you Leylandii well-watered.
