The Leyland Cypress is a evergreen specimen that grows to be approximately 50ft tall and 20ft wide on average. The Leyland Cypress is a prime candidate for privacy screening for those who are trying to block out noise or perhaps unsightly neighbors. You can plant this type of cypress in coastal areas since they are salt tolerant. You must plant the Leyland Cypress tree in a open and sunny area for optimum growth. You can generally expect to see around 2-3ft of growth each year when planted in southern regions of North America. When planting this particular cypress tree, its best to space them around 10ft apart if your planting them for privacy purposes so that they overlap and provide a thick barrier. (USDA Zones 6-10b)
