The feathery foliage remains rich green all year round, making it an excellent living fence. Because Leyland cypress is hardy, tolerant of coastal winds, and adaptable to most well-drained soils, it’s especially popular for rural blocks, farms, lifestyle properties, and suburban backyards throughout New Zealand.
