Mix and Match Leylandii

If you want to mix and match your Leylandii hedging between gold and green and want to keep the price break you get for quantities purchased, then purchase the total amount you need in gold or green and specify at checkout how you want them split e.g. 50:50 green and gold.  

It is an upright evergreen conifer that can grow to more than 30m in height. It is very symmetrical and assumes a pyramid or columnar shape. The needles are overlapping and scaly and are assembled into flattened sprays that densely cover the upward curving branches.

How many Leylandii hedging trees do I need?
Let the controversy begin! How many you need depends on who you ask and how high you want the hedge to grow. For a 6ft or 1.8 metre high hedge then plant 2ft or 60cm apart. For a 12 ft  or 3.7 metre high hedge then plant 3ft or 90cm apart. For a neighbour annoying and sunlight blocking 18ft or 6 metre hedge then plant 4.5ft or 1.4 metres apart. To REALLY confuse you, this author has a garden lined 6ft or 1.8 metre high hedge in his garden and they are all planted 1ft or 30 cm apart +/- 20 cm in a single line. It provides a really thick hedge with the first branches starting within a fist distance of the ground. This provides an excellent barrier to everything except the smallest of animals. It requires pruning once or twice a year.  

Site Conditions And Evergreen Tree List
Our tree chart details which site conditions suit which trees and also which are evergreen or semi-evergreen.

Feeding Or Fertilizing Hedges
This is a task that can easily be over done. Any nitrogen based fertilizer will do such as 20:20:10 but the longer lasting ones which take 18/24 months are better as they are regulated by the weather and moisture therefore release slowly.

Bio Fuels
If you are one of those lucky people that lead an eco lifestyle (VERY jealous if you are) and want to buy trees to burn, then maybe our wood burning chart (excel spread sheet) will help you decide. Ash, Eucalyptus Gunnii and Willow are worth looking at for their growth rates and calorific values.

Planting Tool
If you are looking to plant lots of plug plant or cell grown trees (the 10-40cm-ish) size range then maybe you should consider our tree planting tool. Tree planting rates of over 700 per day achievable.

Adding A Bit Of Colour And Attract Wildlife
Honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum) is very attractive, fragrant and attracts more wildlife to your garden. A bit on the vigorous side but worth the effort. A great addition to your project.
