Noun
Leyland cypress (plural Leyland cypresses)
A fast-growing evergreen tree (Cupressus × leylandii) used for hedges and screens that is a hybrid of the Monterey cypress, Cupressus macrocarpa, and the Alaskan cypress, Cupressus nootkatensis.
“It was an odd year horticulturally speaking with a normal spring, decent summer and an atypically dry fall, so it’s good that the trees – the Leyland cypress and Virginian pines that are grown locally – fared relatively well,” he said. Source: Internet
