'Leighton Green' is a popular cultivar known for its tall, columnar growth habit and dense foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 'Leighton Green' cultivar was developed in Australia by plant breeder Leighton Green in the late 1940s. It was selected for its improved growth characteristics and adaptability to a wide range of climates. The tree has a narrow, pyramidal shape, reaching heights of 15 to 20 meters (50 to 65 feet) with a spread of 3 to 5 meters (10 to 16 feet) at maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foliage of 'Leighton Green' is a vibrant green color and consists of scale-like leaves that overlap tightly, creating a dense screen. The foliage retains its color well throughout the year, even in colder climates. This makes 'Leighton Green' a popular choice for privacy screens, hedges, windbreaks, and as a specimen tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the advantages of 'Leighton Green' is its tolerance to a variety of soil conditions, including sandy, loamy, and clay soils. It is also fairly drought-tolerant once established and can withstand salt spray, making it suitable for coastal areas. However, it thrives best in full sun exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Queens Garden Centre","offers":[{"title":"200mm","offer_id":49950522343719,"sku":"AU - 282","price":48.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/6805\/9431\/files\/Cupressus_LeightonGreen.png?v=1745408425","url":"https:\/\/worldplantnursery.com\/nl\/products\/cupressus-leighton-green","provider":"World Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
