Murray Cypress Tree - Live Quart Size Trees - Cupressus x Leylandii - Upright Screening Evergreen Hedge Plant

Murray Cypress’ primary function is for privacy purposes. This quickly-growing evergreen is ideal for creating privacy on property that can’t be easily screened by the height of traditional wooden fences. With a growth rate of three feet per year -- which is considerably faster than the Leyland -- the Murray Cypress matures at a height of 30 to 40 feet. Recommended spacing is 5 to 10 feet apart for planters who wish to create a sense of secrecy in their backyards. Another wildly-growing function for the Murray Cypress is its use as a Christmas tree. It retains its beautiful color year round, and its limbs are notably stronger than those of the Leyland. Murray Cypress is able to withstand cold temperatures, surviving in brutal winds and icy conditions. It’s hardy in zones 6-10, meaning the Murray Cypress is capable of thriving in temperatures ranging from -10 degrees to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Another benefit of planting one or multiple Murray Cypresses is the tree’s resiliency to fungus. It resists diseases better than the standard Leyland. The Murray Cypress is gaining momentum as a landscaping giant. Whether the desired function for the Murray Cypress is privacy or holiday-related, this evergreen performs both tasks well. The recommended spacing for Murray Cypress Trees is 5 feet apart. You can plant closer together if you want quicker privacy. Murray Cypress Trees typically grow about 8-10 feet wide.
