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. Green Leylandii are a fast growing evergreen hedging plant with a pleasant foliage, ideal for an instant and effective hedge, windbreak or screen. With dense, bushy growth, they are brilliant at reducing noise and pollution.
They grow at around 3’ (90cm) 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 5’ (1.5m) and up to 20′ (6.1m). Most of these plants are in containers to make them easier to transport. This also eliminate risks when transplanting – it is not advisable to buy Leylandii as bare root plants.
It is not possible to grow Leylandii in pots above around 15’ (4.6m) high, so we have recently introduced a new collection into our catalogue: root-control-bag Leylandii. These plants have both the advantage of ground grown plants (ability to gain height, extra bushiness) but also the benefit of a pot grown plant in that when transplanted they suffer very little, if any shock. Root-control-bag Leylandii are available in heights from 14’-20’ (4.3- 6.1m) tall. For those who need a truly thick and instant hedge, these could be the way to go.
