The feathery foliage of Leyland Cypress 'Castlewellan' is a beautiful golden colour and it has small round cones in late summer. A favourite choice for hedging, the Leyland Cypress grows quickly to a good size, making an excellent evergreen screening plant. Cupressus leylandii can reach 12 metres in height in 20 years or more, but as long as it is regularly clipped it can be kept as a hedge. Height: up to 25m (80'). Spread: 5m (15').
