Leylandii Trees. Cupressus Leylandii. Leyland Cypress Hedging. Fast-Growing Leylandii for Hedging and Screening

Cupressus Leylandii trees are often referred to as simply Leylandii or Leyland Cypress.The full botanical name is Cupressus x Leylandii and they are acknowledged as one of the fastest growing evergreen conifers here in the UK. Leylandii are mainly used for hedging and evergreen screening yet all Cupressus trees make excellent roosting places and are often used as nest sites by birds such as greenfinches, robins, dunnocks and wrens. A Cupressus Leylandii hedge provides year round shelter for a wide range of wildlife.The continuing popularity of Cupressus Leylandii for hedging here in the UK is hardly surprising if you look at this plant’s characteristics. As well as being evergreen, a prerequisite of any year round screening, Leylandii are very fast growing, expect a growth rate of at least 3 feet per year. Leyland Cypress will grow and perform well in virtually any soil but do need to be maintained.Cypress Leylandii new growth lends itself very well to trimming and a Leylandii hedge maintains its shape well if trimmed regularly, ideally 2 to 3 times per year. Leyland Cypress hedging should not be cut back too hard beyond the green foliage, as they do not shoot from old wood. Best practise is to give consistently regular trims rather than letting them grow and cutting back hard. If you follow this rule you will be rewarded with a neat dense hedge that will provide instant privacy. Leylandii trees are still the fastest and most cost effective way of achieving a neat tall hedge or screen in the garden. They grow up to 1m per year (2-3ft).

Picea Omorika Serbian Spruce Bosnian Spruce for Sale Online

Picea Omorika Serbian Spruce Bosnian Spruce for Sale Online

 Picea omorika, Serbian Spruce or Bosnian SpruceThe Picea Omorika, also called the Serbian Spruce or the Bosnian Spruce, is a graceful evergreen conifer that can grow to a height up to 40 metres. That said, it grows at a relatively slow rate of just 30 to 60 centimeters per year. The hardy Bosnian Spruce is native to the Tara Mountains which are located in West Serbia. In its native habitat, it grows mostly on the mountain's north facing slopes signifying its hardiness. Picea Omorika was first discovered in 1875 and quickly gained popularity in horticulture use. From the 1880s onward, the Serbian Spruce has been a valued landscape addition. In terms of growth habit, it has an attractive crown which is narrowly conical to columnar with short branches with a downward curve.The Serbian Spruce is an evergreen conifer and keeps its needles all year round. It grows naturally in a narrow, pyramid fashion and rarely, if ever, requires any pruning. The needles measure 2.5 centimeters in length. Each needle is flat and bright green. The underside of the needle has two distinctive white stripes. The needles are connected to the main stem by a tiny pulvinus. The Bosnian Spruce produces male and female flowers on the same tree. The flowers are inconspicuous. After flowering, it develops long ovate-shaped cones that measure approximately 5 centimeters. The decorative cones appear a purple and change to a reddish-brown as they mature.Plant the Picea omorika in full sun for best growth. It will tolerate partial shade but must have at least four hours of sun per day. The tree grows well in, loamy, sandy, or clay soils. Ideally, it prefers acidic soil conditions. Avoid planting the tree in overly moist or boggy soil. It grows best when the soil is allowed to dry out between waterings. Despite its mountain origins, the Serbian Spruce tolerates urban pollution. However, it does not do well when exposed to road salt.Picea omarika is a popular living Christmas tree choice. Many people keep the tree in a pot and after the holidays, they plant it directly in the garden where it makes an ideal specimen tree. It was awarded the prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. Many successful cultivars such as the Picea omorika Nana have been produced from the Picea omorika.

Hedging Screens. Evergreen Portuguese Laurel Instant Screen

Hedging Screens. Evergreen Portuguese Laurel Instant Screen

Portuguese Laurel Hedging ScreensPortuguese Laurel (Latin name Prunus Lusitanica Angustifolia) remains one of our most popular evergreen hedging choices, well suited to growing throughout Britain and Ireland. These particular Portuguese Laurel plants have been nurtured and grown in rows of 5 or 6 plants and have been trained on a bamboo frame to maximise the screening effect. We refer to them as Instant Hedging Screens as they provide immediate privacy. These instant hedging screens are perfect when you want an instant hedging screen in a hurry.

Portuguese Laurel grows at a rapid rate of approximately 30 to 60 centimetres or more per year. Portuguese Laurel Hedging Screens only require clipping once per year, ideally in the month of June. When not regularly pruned, the hardy and rapid growth of the hedging screen will reach a height of 18 meters relatively quickly.Portuguese Laurel Hedging is beloved for its deep, dark evergreen narrow leaves that stand out in stark contrast to the stems which are a bright pinkish-red. In the month of June, the Portuguese laurel will produce an abundance of fragrant yellowish-white flowers on flower spikes which many people compare to the aroma of Hawthorn blossom. Bees and butterflies adore these small but sweet scented flowers. The flower spikes rise upward and are frequently clipped to make aromatic bouquets. If the grower does not wish the hedge screen to produce flowers, then it is suggested the plant be clipped early in June before the buds have a chance to open. Following flowering, Prunus Lusitanica Angustifolia produces red cherry-like fruits that are a favourite of song birds. If the birds do not consume the berries, they turn a dark blackish shade in the autumn. In bygone eras, the Portuguese Laurel was planted wherever game birds could browse the berries because it was believed that the berries of the shrub pleasantly flavoured the bird’s meat. Its dense growth habit makes the Portuguese Laurel an ideal nesting location for many small birds. Your Prunus Lusitanica Angustifolia Instant Screen will grow in full sun or in shade. It grows well in all soil types, even chalky.

Pinus Pinea. Italian Stone Pine Nut Tree for sale London UK

Pinus Pinea or Stone Pine is also known as the Italian Stone Pine, Umbrella Pine or Pine Nut Tree. These mature Pinus Pinea specimens have been grown and shaped as full stardard trees with long, clear stems and a lovely, rounded canopy on top. Pinus Pinea Full Standard trees can be used for above fence screening or as stand-alone ornamental specimens.The Pinus Pinea is a lovely conifer tree that naturally features a rounded, broad flattened umbrella-like canopy. It has a tall spreading habit with twisted, glossy green needle-like, soft leaves. The canopy spread can be kept in check with regular clipping. In the Roman times, Italian stone pines were widely grown for their deliciously edible pine nuts which were a staple in most Roman soldiers’ diets. Relatively fast growing, the tree often grows 1 meter per year. The tree will reach full maturity between 20 to 30 years old.Once established, the Pinus Pinea Full Standard tree requires only minimal care to thrive and keep its shape. It is highly drought tolerant and can withstand salt spray in coastal regions. Plant the Italian stone pine in full sun for best growth results. It prefers a planting location with well-draining soil. The tree grows best in acidic soil but will withstand alkaline soil. It grows well in coastal areas because it doesn’t mind salt spray. Italian Stone Pine trees produce an abundance of bright green stiff needles that measure up to 15 centimetres in length. The needles appear in twisted bundles. The bluish-grey cones of the tree measure about 15 centimetres in length and are heavy. They remain tightly closed for about three years before opening to disperse their seeds.Pinus Pinea Full Standard has a stand-out showy trunk, enhanced by the full standard clear stem shape of these specimens. The trunk features an orange hue with large plates that measure about 33 centimetres in length. They are showcased by deep dark fissures. The plates provide visual interest on the tree.The Italian stone pine does tolerate pruning well, making it a good candidate for growing as a full standard tree. It requires minimal pruning once per year to keep its shape. Ideally, pruning should take place in the winter months.Statuesque and interesting year round, the Italian Stone Pine full standard tree makes an ideal garden focal point. It grows well in urban settings and can be grown as a street tree. This hardy Pine Nut tree is just one of the varieties in our huge collection of specialist conifers for sale at Paramount Plants in North London.
