Leighton Green vs Better Green – Fast-Growing Screening Trees

Looking for a fast, dense, and reliable privacy hedge? Leighton Green and Better Green are two of the most widely planted screening conifers in Australia. Both are upright, evergreen trees that grow up to 1.5–2 metres per year, with soft green foliage that creates instant coverage.

While their appearance is nearly identical, there are two key differences:

🚀 Better Green grows faster under ideal conditions
🛡️ Better Green is more resilient to Cypress Canker

Both trees thrive in full sun, tolerate frost and coastal conditions, and are ideal for rural boundaries, windbreaks, suburban hedging or driveway screening.

Choose based on your climate, space, and how quickly you want to establish height. Explore the full range below — now with updated product images and current pricing.
