About this plant

Fastigiata Leyland cypress grows in a narrower upright outline than a typical Leyland cypress while remaining dense and green.

Dense evergreen shoots develop into a narrow, upright conical crown, keeping structure in the garden through winter.

Best used for

Use for a tall screen or formal evergreen accent with regular size control.

Give the plant enough space and light to show its natural form.

Growth & mature size

Growth per year 40–80 cm per year Fast growth
Expected mature size 10–15 m high / 2–4 m wide

Expect around 40–80 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 10–15 m in height and 2–4 m in width. Allow room for a narrow, upright conical crown; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.

How to care

Plant in well-drained soil and avoid waterlogged ground. Keep the soil evenly moist during establishment and water again whenever the upper soil dries. Apply mature compost or a slow-release evergreen fertiliser once in spring if soil is poor. Clip once or twice during the growing season to maintain size; do not cut back into old brown wood.

Natural variation in shape, branching, leaf density and seasonal appearance is normal. Plants may look different depending on the time of year.
