Planting: \u003c\/strong\u003eLeyland Cypresses grow to heights of 50 feet with a canopy that can spread out to about 25 feet. If you want a taller hedge, screen or windbreak, young trees should be spaced at least 25 feet apart. If you're growing a hedge, a space of 8 to 10 feet between trees is ideal. It will take about five to seven years for the space between the trees to fill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo plant a Leyland Cypress, dig a planting hole twice the size of the root ball and as deep as the soil in the container. Center the tree in the planting hole and back fill with soil. Create a watering ring around the perimeter of the planting hole (this helps divert water to the outer roots). Mulch with at least three inches of compost or pulverized bark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Watering: \u003c\/strong\u003eWater around 2-3 times per week during the first month to help the establishment. When watering, allow it to saturate the soil around 6-8 inches down to avoid making the soil soggy. Gradually transition to watering 1-2 times per week for the first year. As your tree matures, less water will be required unless times of drought occur\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Fertilizing: \u003c\/strong\u003eIf your Leyland Cypress needs fertilizer at all, it should be fertilized with a shrub and tree fertilizer, unless a soil test shows that nutrients are low or missing. If the soil is missing or low on nutrients, use a nutrient-specific fertilizer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Pruning: \u003c\/strong\u003eThese trees require very little pruning.
