COLUMN TYPE LEYLANDII
'alan',
Comparing Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Columnaris' http://www.ruzeitopalovic.co.yu/vslike/str-82-1.jpg with Cupressocyparis leylandii http://www.hortpix.com/pc4499.htm is not a very fair comparison because they are not from the same family. Also, Leylandiii is green whereas Columnaris has a blueish tinge. Both eventually grow very tall but Columnaris definitely grows much slower than Leylandii and it is very popular as a specimen conifer. Some are quite slim but others, like mine, thicken out to about two meters diameter and about thirty feet tall after some fifteen years or so. It is well tapered and compact whereas Leylandii tends to be somewhat loose. Now that you have taken an interest you will be able to spot and compare these conifers in your area as you will find that they are well represented in all areas of the country.

No he's not winding you up - Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Columnaris' or Columnaris Glauca is a completely different plant, it is *not* a Leylandii. it is much more compact, bluish in colour and relatively slow growing but it does get big -it is closely related to the 'Lawson' cypress. Ours are about 7 metres high x 2metres wide after 27 years but still fairly neat and compact. Rod |

Isn't Leylandii a completely separate plant group to itself. I know is came from a crossing of two other cypresses, but I think it is in a group of just Leylandii. Mike www.british-naturism.org.uk |
