Leyland Cypress

The popularity of the Leyland Cypress as a “Living Fence”TM screen is indeed no coincidence. This vigorous plant can almost be seen growing as it stretches its branches to the sky in its quest for the clouds. In virtually no time will this hardy and attractive conifer form and shape itself into the coveted “Living Fence”TM.
