The Green Rocket Leyland Cypress offers consistent, year-round greenery with minimal upkeep, thanks to its naturally upright growth. This fast-growing tree features a narrow, pyramidal form with flat branches and rich green foliage, creating an elegant evergreen profile. Young trunks are smooth, gradually developing ridges and flaking as they mature. Reaching heights up to 35 feet while maintaining a slender silhouette, it’s ideal for privacy screening, wind protection, or shade when grouped. Hardy and resilient, the Green Rocket excels in pest and disease resistance and tolerates heat, making it a reliable choice for landscaping.
