For the perfect golden evergreen, look no further than the Gold Rider Leyland Cypress tree. Growing to 35 feet tall and 15 feet wide, this remarkable evergreen has a sturdy, upright form, and the best golden-yellow foliage you have ever seen. Free of any browning, even in the coldest weather, it holds that clear color, with a rich lime-green interior, all year round. Plant it as a specimen against a tall wall, or in a lawn. Use one or a group to simply but effectively fill the corners of your garden. Create a wonderful and colorful hedge with a row. However you use it, and wherever you plant it, this top-rated golden evergreen will win your heart.
Grow your Gold Rider Leyland Cypress trees in full sun to develop the best coloring. They will thrive in any ordinary garden soil, almost anywhere, and once established this plant has good drought resistance in all but the harshest conditions. It almost never suffers from any pests or diseases. Unlike regular, green Leyland Cypress, it grows to a much more modest size, and it can be safely planted in all but the very smallest gardens.
