Cupressus × leylandii, or Leyland Cypress, is a fast-growing conifer highly regarded for its dense, evergreen foliage. While not an Australian native, its adaptability and resilience make it ideal for creating privacy screens and windbreaks in Townsville. This plant thrives as a garden feature but is not suitable for indoor or patio planting due to its significant size.
