    Leylandii x Queen Elizabeth Rose

    This is a very new, tall growing cross that should be popular with people who want a colourful barrier between them and the neighbours.

    An asset in any garden.

    It even flowers right to the top of the tree - see to the right of the apex of the tree.

    We hope to have the new cross available for sale by Open Day in Shineyland in May.

          We had a Leylandii X Cucurbitae a few years ago, looked like a girt pumpkin festooned Christmas tree.
