PLANT PROFILE
Cupressus leylandii ‘Leighton Green’, commonly known as Leighton Green, is one of Australia’s fastest-growing and most popular conifers for large-scale privacy screening. Celebrated for its towering height and dense, soft-textured foliage, it provides instant structure and creates a lush, formal hedge in record time—making it the go-to choice for blocking out neighbours, noise, wind, and unsightly boundaries.
Reaching up to 15 metres tall with a spread of 3–5 metres, Leighton Green’s rich mid- to dark-green foliage offers year-round privacy and visual impact. Whether maintained as a clipped screen or allowed to grow naturally as a windbreak, this upright, conical tree combines speed and versatility for reliable coverage.
Thriving in full sun, Leighton Green adapts well to well-drained, fertile soils and withstands frost, wind, salt spray, and pollution. It requires moderate watering during establishment and light pruning 1–2 times per year to maintain shape and size.
Perfect for suburban hedging, rural windbreaks, and large-scale acoustic screening, Leighton Green balances rapid growth with dependable, low-maintenance performance.
