xCupressocyparis leylandii 'Moncal', 2017

"xCupressocyparis leylandii 'Moncal', 2017, EMERALD ISLE™ [Leyland Cypress], koo-press-oh- SIP-air-iss, 25x8ft. #Conifer, USDA Hardiness Zone 5, green, Bloom Month --, In Garden Bed L2 for 2.0 YEARS.

 

Orginally thought to be a cross between the Monterey cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa) and Alaskan cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis). Research into the genetics of cypress suggests that Monterey cypress is closely related to a rare Asian species and much more genetically distinct from Nootka cypress. Fast grower @3 feet/year. From Britain and renamed for marketing purposes. Introduced by Monrovia in 1992.
