Leyland Cypress trees can be planted in any well-drained soil either in full sun or partial shade and also in exposed areas. The soil can be acid, alkaline or neutral.

Either as an individual specimen requiring little maintenance or alternatively as a hedge, Leyland Cyress are simple to keep in shape, they will, however, need clipping 2 or 3 times per year. When pruning these conifers, always cut plants back to healthy green shoots and avoid cutting into old wood, as this is unlikely to re-sprout. Caution: irritant to skin and eyes.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
