Shrub / Tree
Available
in many varieties, "Elwoodii" is the most common and popular. Suitable for hedging
and also as specimen plants in planting schemes.
A
good substitute for the ubiquitous Lleylandii, similar in looks, but slower
growing and more manageable. It can get equally out of hand and oversized however,
it just takes longer to do so.
Height and spread:
3m x 2m (10ft x 6ft)
Elwoodii, can be 15m+ height and 5m+ width (40ft x 15ft) for the species, take
care when buying as you could end up with something that is very nearly a

| Pruning:
Non-hedging plants require no regular pruning. If pruning is required, don't
cut back into brown wood, always leave green on the surface, the plant will
never grow green again from the brown. May develop a competing leader after
damage, frost or physical, remove the weakest of these or the plant will
become unbalanced. |
