× Cupressocyparis leylandii ‘Castlewellan Gold’ Description

× Cupressocyparis leylandii ‘Castlewellan Gold’ combines fast growth with dense sprays of golden-yellow foliage, which may develop attractive bronze tones during colder weather. Its narrow, columnar habit makes it useful for establishing tall boundary hedges, year-round privacy screens and shelter around larger gardens. It grows in full sun or partial shade and adapts to most soil types as long as the ground drains freely. Although narrower than standard Leylandii, it can still grow more than 12 metres tall if left unchecked. Trim regularly from an early stage and avoid cutting back beyond the green foliage, as bare older branches are unlikely to regrow.
