Hesperotropsis leylandii - LEIGHTONS GREEN - Leyland Cypress

The Leyland Cypress (Hesperotropsis leylandii, syn. Hesperocyparis macrocarpa x Callitropsis nootkatensis, also Cupressus and Cupressocyparis), 'Leighton’s Green,' is a fast-growing conifer with dense, green foliage, perfect for creating tall privacy screens, windbreaks, or feature trees. Its upright, columnar form and vibrant colour make it a standout choice for large gardens or rural properties.

Plant in full sun for best results, ensuring well-draining soil. Water regularly during the establishment period, then reduce watering to occasional once mature, as it is drought-tolerant. Prune annually to maintain a tidy shape and desired size. This versatile tree thrives in Perth’s climate, providing year-round greenery and a natural solution for privacy and wind protection.
