Cypress Leyland

Leyland cypress is a cross between Monterey cypress and Nootka false cypress. This attractive and fast-growing evergreen conifer (24 to 48 inches per year in early years) has flattened sprays of gray-green foliage on slender upright branches. It grows best in a variety of light and soil conditions and in regions where temperatures do not dip more than minus 8 degrees Fahrenheit.
