This tree is a dense, conical, evergreen that bears small cones. This tree is known to grow exceedingly fast, and as a result is popular in landscape design. Leyland Cypress have feathered foliage, with scale - like structures on each piece of greenery. A solid way to identify a cypress is by its density. This tree is thick all the way through, and all the way to the ground. There is usually no space to walk beneath a Leyland Cypress.
