| | Leyland Cypress Tree Advice from Mark Hinsley | Dorset (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | The 'parents' of the Leyland Cypress are Cupressus macrocarpa the Monterey Cypress from California and Chamaecyparis nootkatensis the Nootka Cypress from British Columbia. |
 | | Leyland Cypress can only be propagated from cuttings, they cannot reproduce themselves without assistance from man. Therefore they cannot 'escape' from the garden environment and go rampaging across the countryside like some of the other true introduced exotics, both plant and animal, such as Rhododendron, Gaultheria, sycamore, grey squirrels, rabbits and mink. |
 | | Another advantage is that the Leyland Cypress does not pro-duce great hay fever inducing clouds of pollen in the manner of, say, a pine tree or millions of little seeds like a birch. |
