Sun: Full sun right through to dense shade
Exposure/Position: Plant a Leyland cypress hedge in a single row in any reasonable, well prepared soil in sun or partial shade. Ideally plant in autumn or early spring and water during dry spells during the first growing season.
Soil: Any free-draining soil. It is also tolerant of wet soils but will not grow where the soil is water-logged for long periods.
Moisture: Water well and keep it watered especially during the summer months. You must ensure that the roots never dry out until the plant has a good root system in the ground.
Habit: Leyland cypress grows extremely vigorously, easily reaching heights of 10m in as many years, and several metres wide.
Foliage: Evergreen
Maintenance: Low. Regular trimming keeps Leylandii neat and manageable, or it can be left to grow out for a more rustic, shaggy appearance.
Feed: Regularly once a fortnight with a balanced fertilizer between May to October (link here to sundries and options)
