x Cuprocyparis leylandii
evergreenZones 6–10deer resistantExtremely fast-growing evergreen used for privacy screens and hedges. Dense, columnar to pyramidal form with soft sprays of gray-green foliage.
Check for dead patches, sunken cankers, or resinous areas on branches.
Shape hedges in early summer. Do not cut into bare wood -- it will not regrow.
If planted too close, thin or remove alternate trees to prevent disease from poor air circulation.
