Planting
Plant your Green Rocket Leyland Cypress in a location that provides ample space. This tree can reach heights of 25-35 feet and a width of 8 feet. It’s important when you are planting multiple Green Rockets to plant them 8-10 feet apart to allow space between them. Or if you’re wanting a privacy screen or hedge, plant 4-5 feet apart.
Plant your trees in a full sun location and dig a hole that is 2-3 times the size of the root ball and around the same depth. Place the tree in the hole and backfill the dirt. Water immediately to help the soil settle. Then place mulch 2-3 inches in depth around the base and about a foot out from the trunk of the tree.
Watering
Watering your Green Rocket Leyland Cypress frequently to keep the soil moist. At least 1 inch of water per week.
Fertilizing
Although the Green Rocket Leyland Cypress does not require fertilizer, you may choose to add shrub and tree fertilizer as needed.
