- Hedging
- Screening
- Drought tolerant
Leighton Green is a very fast growing, hardy, evergreen conifer. It has the potential to become very large (10m +) if unchecked but it is able to be controlled and it hedges beautifully. It has deep green foliage making it a great backdrop for the garden.
It is used extensively on farms and larger properties as large screens, windbreaks and protection for livestock. In the home garden it is used as formal hedging and screening.
Leighton Green is very hardy. It likes full sun or part shade and well drained, fertile soil but will tolerate nearly all soil types. It will do well by the coast or exposed positions, is frost hardy and is drought tolerant once established.
