The main Gold Leylandii we grow is the Castlewellan Gold, though Robinsons Gold and Gold Rider are also plants we can source and supply. After many years of growing Gold Leylandii of different kinds, we have established a strain of Castlewellan Gold that has a pleasant golden colour, and a thick, bushy growth — we believe they are the best Gold Leylandii on the market.
The tallest that we grow the golden leylandii to is 9’-10’ (2.7- 3.0m) and you will need to check on availability as we do not always have them in stock at that height. More typically we have the 11L plants in the 5-8ft range.
Cupressocyparis Leylandii ‘Castlewellan Gold’ is similar to Cupressocyparis Leylandii Green, but with lovely golden/yellow foliage. The exact shade of the foliage varies slightly over the growing season. It does not grow quite as tall as the green Leylandii, but it tends to be a bushier plant, and is great for trimming into a thick and tight hedge. As with the Green Leylandii, it is 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.
Gold Leylandii hedging plants are available in a variety of sizes which are listed below.
