What is the fastest growing evergreen screen plant?
The Leyland Cypress (Cupressocyparis leylandii) is a very rapid growing screen plant with feathery green foliage and a pyramidal outline. Although larger sizes can be expensive, this plant performs like no other and has very few drawbacks. Beware though, the leyland cypress is not a small plant and will grow to 20’ wide and 60’ tall. Why is my landscape so barren in the Winter? Many times homeowners and landscapers alike forget to look past the dazzling flowers at the nursery. The backbone of any landscape is evergreen plant material. Evergreens may not be as flashy as a shrub full of flowers(although some flower very profusely), but when the deciduous shrubs and perennials are bare in Winter, the evergreens are still doing their job. Consider evergreen foundation plants before proceeding to the flowers and you will not be sorry.
