Learn About Your New Cupressus leylandii 'Better Green'
Cupressus leylandii 'Better Green', also known as Cupressus ‘Madeline’ Better Green, is a fast-growing, improved variety of Leyland Cypress, ideal for creating dense evergreen hedges, screens, and windbreaks. With vibrant mid-green foliage and a strong, columnar form, Cupressus leylandii 'Better Green' delivers a more refined look and cleaner growth than traditional Leyland types like Leighton Green.
Growing up to 15–20 metres tall and just 3–4 metres wide, Cupressus leylandii 'Better Green' forms a tall, narrow barrier that maintains colour year-round. It is particularly suited to privacy screening in residential or commercial settings where space is limited but height is needed.
Tolerant of wind, salt spray, and pollution, Cupressus leylandii 'Better Green' performs well in coastal and urban environments. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires regular pruning to control height and shape when used as a formal hedge.
This improved Leyland Cypress cultivar is a dependable, attractive alternative to Leighton Green — offering faster establishment, a neater habit, and superior colour retention throughout the year.
