Leylandii conifers have beautiful dense, fine green foliage compared to any broadleaf Pittosporum, Lilly Pilly, Ornamental Pear, or Photinia. It grows faster than any other conifer or cypress. Conifer leylandii is also capable of growing up to 3 meters in the first 18 months when planted from a small-sized plant. For the best results, trim your Leighton Green Conifer hedge 2-4 times a year.
Leylandii hedging conifers are best suited to large or rural properties, though can be grown in the suburban block providing they are trimmed and maintained to the appropriate size regularly. | Casuarina glauca
