Expert Gardener Leyland Cypress (2.5 Quart) Fast Growing Evergreen Tree - Full Sun Live Outdoor Plant

Leyland Cypress trees are one the most popular choices for evergreen trees in the landscape. Looking for a fast-growing coniferous tree for privacy? This is the evergreen tree for you. These gorgeous evergreens grow 3-5 ft. per year. In addition to speedy growth, they have lush feathery soft foliage and a consistent symmetrical form that only becomes more impressive as they mature. These low-maintenance trees do not require pruning but can be easily trimmed to your desired height and shape. Leyland Cypress trees should be spaced 8 feet apart when the desired outcome is a solid wall of evergreen foliage to provide privacy but should be planted 12+ feet apart if the goal is to create a border with space in-between plantings. These rapidly growing evergreen trees are easy to grow and will adapt to many different soil types including soils that consist mostly of sand and clay. During the first growing season, we recommend watering 2-3 times per week until the plant has been established in your landscape, then watering can be reduced to as needed in times of little to no rainfall.
