The plant you
Cupressocyparis leylandii, or Leyland cypress, is a very popular and fast-growing plant. It gives instant privacy, but this point is both a positive and negative fact. They simply grow too big.
Pruning is essential in keeping the Leyland cypress in check, and this presents other problems. If not pruned correctly, you may end up with a thicket of dead branches, or the base of the plant will become bare. Unlike yew and laurel, Leyland cypress cannot be cut back into bare wood.
I don
Remove the leaves of H. orientalis to the ground in January and February, being careful not to damage the stems of the emerging flowers. This is done to prevent disease from spreading and so you can see the flowers better. We usually leave the plant alone for the first two years.
H. niger is a true evergreen, so only remove the leaves that look bad.
H. argutifolius and H. foetidus have biennial stems that produce flowers in their second year. After they flower these stems can be cut to the ground and new shoots will have already emerged.
Note: When you cut the stems back don
Well, we hope you
