Create a full instant-effect evergreen hedge from the day you plant with this exceptional pallet deal of 10 XXL Green Leylandii hedging trees, supplied approximately 7–8ft tall and individually established in substantial 10 litre pots.
These are seriously large, mature nursery-grown trees, offering considerably more height, root development and presence than standard hedging plants. They are an excellent solution where immediate privacy and screening are required without waiting years for a smaller hedge to establish.
Green Leylandii is one of the UK's most trusted evergreen hedging choices, producing dense rich-green foliage and vigorous growth while responding extremely well to regular trimming and shaping.
• 10 XXL established Leylandii trees
• Exceptional 7–8ft supplied height
• Substantial 10 litre pots and established root systems
• Designed for a full instant-effect hedge
• Immediate height, privacy and screening
• Dense evergreen foliage throughout the year
• Fast-growing and easy to maintain by regular trimming
• Ideal for substantial boundaries and mature landscaping
• Fantastic nursery-direct value for XXL hedging
At this exceptional 7–8ft XXL size, we recommend approximately 1 tree per metre to create a full instant-effect hedge.
This means your pallet of 10 trees can create approximately 10 metres of tall, established evergreen screening immediately after planting, subject to site conditions and your required finished effect.
Planting at this spacing provides an excellent balance between immediate coverage and sufficient growing space, allowing the individual trees to establish and knit together into a strong continuous hedge.
For particularly deep screening, the trees may also be arranged in a staggered or double-line formation where sufficient space is available.
• Full instant-effect hedging
• Immediate garden privacy
• Screening neighbouring properties
• Overlooked gardens and boundaries
• Screening fences, buildings and unwanted views
• Replacing an established hedge
• Large gardens and estates
• Professional landscaping projects
• Tall evergreen screens and windbreaks
Prepare the planting area thoroughly by removing weeds and loosening the surrounding soil. Dig generous planting holes and position each tree at approximately the same soil level as it has been growing in its pot. Firm carefully and water thoroughly immediately after planting.
Due to the substantial 7–8ft height, we recommend securely staking the trees during establishment, particularly in exposed or windy locations. Correct support helps prevent root movement while the trees establish into the surrounding ground.
Regular watering is essential throughout the first growing season. XXL evergreen trees carry a considerable volume of foliage and must not be allowed to dry out, especially during warm, dry or windy weather.
Once established, regular trimming will encourage the trees to knit together and maintain a dense, uniform evergreen screen. Avoid cutting heavily into old brown wood.
