Original content

The article is wrong about the vitality of Leyland Cypress in the southeastern Unites States. I live in Atlanta Georgia which is southeastern and has a hot climate. I can look out my window and see some very large and very healthy Leyland Cypress. The trees are so popular in Atlanta they sell out in the nurseries on a regular basis. For a more accurate article visit Leyland Cypress Fact Sheet

the data are inaccurate. the leyland cypress is a cross between the alaskan cedar and the monterey cypress. the scientific name is x Cupressocyparis leylandii. the x denotes that the tree is a hybrid and does not cross pollenate, but only reproduces by cutting.

What is the most effective Herbicide to kill unwanted Leylandii, prior to selective felling. I am looking for a Systemic ground application that will not risk other plants by spraying. Comments and advice will be welcome.88.144.47.28 17:48, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Growing New Ones

If they're all sterile, how are new leylands grown? Must they always cross the Monterrey with the Alaskan to make more, or is there another way to grow a new leyland from an existing leyland without cross pollinating? 98.221.141.21 (talk) 22:20, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I put the history section at the beginning, as this isn't a naturally-occurring tree, and how it came into existence should be mentioned first. The way it was, after the intro, the article started discussing the taxonomic status of the Nootka cypress, without any mention of why the Nootka cypress is relevant. This is an encyclopedia, and I don't think it should jump to a topic before it's explained. By putting the history first, it will be clear how the Nootka cypress pertains to the Leyland cypress. 98.221.141.21 (talk) 13:05, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
