[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leland Cypress grow very quickly.  We wanted a fast barrier, and this was the recommendation we got.  We have been very pleased with the results.[/quote]

We have been pleased as well.  Creates a nice green barrier![/quote]

And it grows 60-70 feet tall with an up to 25 foot spread, and fast. Unless you have that kind of room, please don't plant Leyland Cypresses. Oh, you are going to sell before it gets to that? Please don't burden future owners with those monsters.

The Washington Post's gardening columnist Adrian Higgins also warns against Leyland Cypress and includes it among the 10 worst trees to plant.[/quote]

Oh lord.  Is this the crazy woman who thinks bamboo is going to kill her in her sleep?  If we are lucky, it did.

OP, LC is beautiful.  If your neighbors are paying for it, then they can dictate what goes where.  Oh wait, no they can't.  Enjoy!
