The Leyland Cypress is easy to grow, and will become a tall, evergreen tree with a dense crown that is conical to columnar in shape. While its leaf form, size and shape resemble those of the Cupressocyparis nootkatensis, its branchlets are finer, longer and more slender. It combines well with broadleaf evergreens, low junipers, and barberry.

When purchasing the plants, buy those which have been grown in containers to achieve the best results.
