Pruning also allows the branches hanging down due to rapid growth to be pruned so heavy snows, ice or high winds do not break or damage limbs.

Any dead or diseased branches should be removed right away to keep from spreading any fungus.

All Leyland’s should be pruned to allow the Leyland to help maintain their shape. The pyramidal shape will be lost if some pruning is not maintained.

Proper care should be given to the Leyland’s to extend their life cycle through proper pruning and feeding of fertilize.

If proper pruning is done on young Leyland Cypress this will encourage stronger root growth and denser growth.

The overlong side shoots should be pruned back which allows for dense growth and keeps the heavy snow or ice from snapping side shoots due to the weight of the snow or ice.

Trimming the sides and top are recommended so that once the desired height is reach the Leyland’s will not become an overbearing living screen or high hedges.

A overbearing living screen or high hedges keeps people who enjoy using their property are not impaired by the overgrown and the close proximity of the Leyland Cypress that kills the grass, plants, trees and allows excessive mold growth on the north side, etc. due to the shade from the large over grown and unkempt Leyland’s. An overbearing living screen can block all sunlight on the neighbor’s lawn, swimming pool, garden, home, shed, etc.

Proper consideration of your neighbors should be also taken in consideration when planting Leyland Cypress due to the size issue and the branches hanging on to the neighbor’s property if proper pruning is not maintained.
