At-A-Glance InformationThis cross between Chamaecyparis nootkatensis and Cupressus macrocarpa is a fast-growing evergreen tree that reaches 60-70 feet tall and 8-15 feet wide. This hybrid is commonly called Leyland Cypress. It needs full sun and moderate to regular water to thrive well, and can be pruned into a tall hedge 10-15 feet tall (though it needs much pruning to keep this shortened height). Branches are upright, and blue-green foliage is displayed on flattened sprays. Forms a very neat privacy hedge when sheared consistently.
