Top Tip
Lightly trim established hedges 2-3 times per year to maintain an attractive and manageable size and shape.
How to Water
Water well when planting and regularly for the first year, especially during hot weather. Once established, Leyland cypress is drought tolerant and should only need to be watered during particularly dry spells.
How to Plant
Plant in full sun or partial shade in any moist but well-draining soil. Dig a hole around twice the size of the rootball and position the plant so the top of the rootball is at ground level. Backfill the hole with soil and compost, firming down gently as you go. Water in well. Leave 60-90cm between plants.
