Leyland Cypress

1 responses

Sheri starts with ... We're planning a privacy hedge, and decided on Leyland cypress, the compact "hedgeworthy" variety. Then I read these shrubs emit a chemical from their roots that will kill other plants within 6-8 feet. My plan was to have these in the back of a perennial border, with flowers right up beside them. But since then I've looked at several other websites that say nothing about this. I don't want something that will kill my flowers. Have you ever heard of this problem? (I am in PA) Thanks, Sheri Snyder	About the Author Sheri Willow Street 5th October 2014 3:54pm #UserID: 10591 Posts: 1 View All Sheri's Edible Fruit Trees

My son planted a few for privacy and they grew quite fast.	About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 6th October 2014 2:59pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees
