The '''Leyland Cypress''', ''× Cupressocyparis leylandii'' (syn. ''Callitropsis × leylandii''), often referred to as just '''Leylandii''', is a fast-growing [[evergreen tree]] much used in [[horticulture]], primarily for hedges and screens. Even on sites of relatively poor culture, plants have been known to grow to heights of 15 metres in 16 years.<ref>{{citeweb|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=v9FaNAifPLEC&pg=PA436&dq=%22leighton+hall%22+powys&ei=-1oySe_4OKW0zAS15Yy7BA|title=Hillier Manual of Trees and Shrubs, p436 - Conifers|publisher=books.google.com|accessdate=2008-11-30}}</ref> Their rapid, thick growth means they are sometimes used to enforce privacy, but such use can result in disputes with neighbours whose own property becomes overshadowed.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-11211538 | work=BBC News | title=Plymouth neighbours row over 35ft trees | date=2010-09-07}}</ref> ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> File:Leyland Cypress.jpg| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> <!--- xxxxx *Flora: The Gardener's Bible, by Sean Hogan.
