Leyland Cypress: Plant health care report

Leyland cypress (Cupressus x leylandii) is an evergreen that has become very popular in the landscape, especially for screening purposes. In 1888 in England, this hybrid was developed from Monterey cypress (Hesperocyparis macrocarpa) and Alaska cedar (Cupressus nootkatensis). Many cultivars of this fast-growing, well-formed tree are available, ranging from deep green to bluish gray.
