Unfortunately this leylandii hedge has been trimmed passed the last growing point. Leylandii will not reshoot growth once cut passed this point so the hedge will have permanent, unsightly ‘dead spots’.
The owners decided to totally remove this part of the hedge and replant. New planting should be ideally done in the colder months of October-March. Planting in the warmer months will require regular watering especially in the growing season for the first year.
Leylandii (xCupressocyparis leylandii) is one of the fastest growing hedge plants (approx 90cm per year!) and is ideal for a dense, quick growing, cost effective evergreen hedge.
Evergreen hedges can offer not only a visual all-year-round- screen, a noise reduction from roads and a good wind break. The key to a healthy, dense leylandii hedge is to carry out regular trims (twice yearly) always leaving growth behind the trim.
