- One of the most popular screening trees for Georgia
- Need to screen something? - plant a Leyland Cypress, but make sure you have plenty of space!
- Leyland cypress get up to 30 feet tall and 20 feet wide
- For 100 linear feet you only need 8-10
- Plant no closer than 10-12 feet apart either straight line or on a zigzag pattern.
- They are fast growing if conditions are right, up to 3 feet per year
- Plant them level to the ground, taking care not to over dig your hole and allow the tree root ball to go beneath ground level
- They are shallow rooted and can quite easily drown if you plant them too deep.
- Staking is not recommended for Leyland cypress
- Pay close attention to watering to get established; do not allow the roots to dry out.
- **Can be dug at the farm and planted most times of the year**
