The Leyland Cypress Tree, Cupressus x leylandii, is the homeowner's best option for shrubbery to provide privacy around the house. First of all, it grows very tall, which amounts explicitly to be about three to five feet per average year. It is also soft. For the average family, parents do not have to worry about children running into the shrubbery or the trees because they are not prickly or harmful to kids. They form a solid wall to ensure that the family's privacy is completely protected from nosy neighbors and the like. Additionally, the Leyland Cypress Tree is resistant to shortages of water and widespread droughts. The Leyland Cypress trees are always green. Whether it is hot summer, snowy, icy winter, lovely Spring, or Chilly Fall, these Leyland Cypress Trees stay true to their green color. The trees have integrity and are unlikely to fall in harsh weather. These cypress trees are easy to maintain. The family can prune the trees, trim the trees, and even shape them into ornamental figures. Let's say that the homeowner was unwilling to cut or maintain the trees- the Cypress trees would still preserve a sightly and refined look. These trees grow by nature in a uniform, symmetrical shape.
