Green Leylandii
These fast growing evergreen plants are ideal for making a quick effective hedge, windbreak or screen. They are also brilliant at reducing noise and pollution. Many of our customers have remarked that our Leylandii make a superb windbreak, whether in the garden or around the perimeter of a field with livestock or horses in it. They grow at around 3ft per year once established but can easily be trimmed into the height and width required. They are easy to keep under control with a trim once a year – the bad publicity comes from those who plant them and then don’t care for them. When cared for properly, Leylandii will make a very handsome hedge and we regard them as the best ‘all round’ hedging plants.
We are able to supply a range of sizes from as short as 2’6” and up to 20′. Most of these plants are in containers to make them easier to transport and to eliminate risks when transplanting. We have recently introduced a new collection into our catalogue which are root-control-bag Leylandii. These plants have the advantage of ground grown plants (bushiness) but when moved suffer very little, if any shock. Root-control-bag Leylandii are available in heights from 14’-20’ tall. The tall plants are also very bushy and provide an instant hedge. The Green Leylandii has pleasant green, dense foliage and grows between 2 and 3 feet a year.
Gold Leylandii
The main Gold Leylandii we grow is the Castlewellan Gold, though Robinsons Gold and Gold Rider are also plants we can source and supply.
The tallest that we grow the golden leylandii to is 8-9ft and you will need to check on availability as we do not always have them in stock.
Cupressocyparis leylandii ‘Castlewellan Gold’ is similar to Cupressocyparis leylandii, but with lovely yellow foliage. It does not grow quite as tall as the green Leylandii, but it tends to be a bushier plant. It is also highly suited to hedging and screening and can be trimmed to size. These plants give the advantage of not looking like an imense ‘green wall’ when planted and actually make quite a pretty hedge whilst still having all the impenetrability of a Green Leylandii Hedge.
Again, we are able to supply a range of sizes for the Gold Leylandii. If a size is not listed, don’t hesitate to ask as we may still have the plants or could source them in from reliable wholesalers for you.
