Classic hedging plant, semi-evergreen to evergreen (depending on how cold a winter we have and how exposed the site is). Traditional and popular, but plant with caution if you or your children are asthmatic as Privet can on occasion aggravate the condition.

Popular for its evergreen sprays of fragrant green foliage, Leylandii is probably the fastest growing hedging plant. It can grow up to 1 metre (3 feet) a year. Kept trimmed, Leylandii conifers create a wonderfully dense screen of a hedge. They can reduce noise pollution and act as an effective windbreak.

Leylandii is a hybrid, accidentally created in Wales in the 19th century. It comes from two species of cypress from different parts of North America: the Monterey and the Nootka. Leylandii are ideal for normal soil conditions, sun or partial shade, exposed inland and coastal sites.
