Heads up to ANYONE looking at doing privacy screening. Learn from my mistake. About 15 years ago when we first moved into our home, we wanted to screen the yard from our neighbor and we found out about the fast growing Leyland Cypress. We planted a 100 foot row. The grew fast and offered great color and screening. THEN Winter and heavy snow trashed them. Because Leylands grow so fast, they have weak structure that is easily weighed over by snow and ice. Wind damage is devastating on these trees. Worse yet, as they grown quickly when planted too close, the side that doesn't get sun dies further weakening the structure. The Solution? I tore them out and planted GREEN GIANT ARBORVITAE. Let me tell you why... They are stronger, offer the same if not better privacy and do not suffer from snow and ice. MUCH BETTER CHOICE. Here's what they look like. For screening, I would ONLY use GREEN GIANTS. NEVER LEYLANDS. Trust me you'll be happy. If you are looking for them here's what Meadows Farms can do.
