Trees/ Leyland Cypress

Common name(s): Leyland Cypress
Scientific name: x Cupressocyparis leylandii
Pronunciation: x koo-press-so-SIP-air-isslay-LAN-dee-eye
Characteristics: Height: 35 to 50 feet
                           Spread: 15 to 25 feet
                           Light requirement: full sun, partial sun or partial shade
                           Flower color: no flowers
                           Leaf type and persistence: evergreen
                           Landscape use: Leyland Cypress grows in full sun on a wide range of soils,
from acid to alkaline, but looks its best on moderately
fertile soil with sufficient moisture. It is surprisingly
tolerant of severe pruning, recovering nicely from even
severe topping (although this is not recommended), even
when half the top is removed.
