These Leylandii 2001 hedging plants are 3.0-3.25m tall in 25 litre pots or 45 litre pot bags. They are home-grown by us on our two nurseries in Somerset, so are British-grown.
IMPORTANT: These plants are too tall to be shipped on single pallets. They need to be shipped in double pallet crates. Double pallet crates are 2.4m long by 1.2m wide so will not come off the back of the lorry on a tail-lift. They will need to be taken off by hand or the double pallet will need to be unloaded using a forklift or telehandler. The individual plants weigh up to 35kg so the lorry driver will not be permitted to help unload the plants. Please ensure you have two people to help unload by hand. If you need to book a delivery slot, please give us a call on 01460 281265 (option 2) to discuss this. There is an additional delivery charge for a timed delivery. Alternatively, if you are local to us or are ordering a larger quantity, it may be more economical for us to deliver in our own vehicle, please give us a call to discuss the options.
We have a minimum order of 4 plants.
25 litre pots are approx 37cm wide by 28cm deep. We recommend a minimum hole size of 60cm wide (square) by 30cm deep.
We recommend that you plant these Leylandii 2001 between 60 and 100cm apart (2-3ft) depending how quick you want the plants to fill in and form a dense screen. Plant at 60cm (2ft) apart if you want a quick screen or 100cm (3ft) apart if you are willing to wait a bit longer for the hedge to form. A good compromise is 75cm (2'6") apart. You can use our Hedge Spacing Calculator to work out how many you need.
Delivery usually within 1-5 working days, please choose your delivery date during the checkout process.
Please note: we measure height from the top of the rootball to the top of the plant. Heights quoted will be the height of the plants on delivery. The eventual height of the hedge will depend on pruning.
Prices are per plant and include VAT but not delivery. For delivery charges, see our Delivery page or add the plants to your basket and the delivery charge will be calculated as you go through the checkout process.
