1. Be sure to leave room on the property line for your trees to grow. Do not plant directly on the property line because they WILL grow over the line onto your neighbor's property. We suggest planting at least 8 feet from your property line.

2. Yes, Leylands are drought tolerant and low maintenance once they are established. But be sure to water well while you tree is establishing. Water daily for the first week and at least twice weekly for the first 2 to 3 months. Watering deeply once weekly during periods of drought and heat throughout your tree’s life will help it be at its best and grow even faster.

3. Fertilize with a balanced slow release fertilizer in spring for the best growth rate.

Leyland Cypress should be spaced 6 to 10 feet apart for quick privacy. For straight line traditional privacy we suggest planting your trees about 8 to 10 feet apart. Go closer to 8 feet for a wind or sound break. For a more natural look and quicker privacy, you can stagger your trees, spacing them approximately 6 to 8 feet apart on a diagonal, planting in 2 rows.
