Cupressocyparis leylandii 'Leighton Green' is a conical, quickly growing coniferous evergreen tree with flattened sprays of golden-dark green foliage. This plant grows more than a metre tall per year and is frequently used as a residential hedge or screen. Can be as tall as 30 metres, which is ideal for privacy but may cause conflicts with neighbours whose homes are soon obscured by a tall, green wall!
