Leylandii is one of the fastest-growing hedging species we have available, growing by a staggering 75cm (2ft 6in) to 90cm (3ft) each year.   Its rapid growth is the reason it sometimes receives a bad press.  This is only as a result of its failure to be trimmed regularly.  Leylandii is a superb choice for a good, windproof hedge affording privacy and lessening noise for surroundings. We have either gold or green Leylandii available and we leave it for you to choose which colour. Leylandii prefers either a sunny or partially shady position.

Benefits of using our plug plant trees
Our Leylandii hedging trees are sold as containerised plants, in other words the roots are encased in compost. This means that planting can be carried out at any time of the year, provided they are watered in periods of drought, compared to bare-root plants which can only be planted during the plants normal dormant period (November to March) and secondly containerised plants have a higher survival rate than bare-root plants.

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.
