Cupressus Leylandii Full Standard Trees

Cupressus Leylandii these trees have been trained to grow as a full standard tree to cover over the fence panel or for above wall privacy screening. Leylandii trees are often referred to as simply Leylandii, these are fast growing evergreen conifers that are mainly used for hedging and evergreen screening.  Cupressus Leylandii trees make excellent roosting places and may also be used as nest sites for birds such as greenfinches, robins, dunnocks and wrens.

We also have Leyland Cypress trees available in a golden colour - Cupressus Leyland Goldrider and the ever popular Leylandii Castlewellan Gold

Cupressus leylandii do need to be correctly maintained with regular trims, trimming should be done twice or three times each year to keep their shape. 
Leyland Cypress should not be cut back too hard ie beyond the green foliage as they do not re-shoot from old wood. So please bear in mind that they do need consistent trims each year rather than letting them go for a couple of years and cutting them back hard. However, this can be used to your advantage to limit their height by cutting the main stem when they reach the height you need.
Leylandii trees are still the fastest and most cost effective way of achieving a neat tall hedge or screen in the garden as they will grow up to 1m per year (2-3ft). 
We also recommend Thuya Plicata for Hedging and Screening
