Private Green Mexican Cypress - Cupressus lusitanica ‘Private Green’
Selected as a screening conifer, Cupressus lusitanica ‘Private Green’ builds a narrow column of soft mid-green foliage that knits together quickly into a solid green wall. It is chosen over leyland cypress and pencil pines because it holds density lower down the stem and responds well to trimming, letting a hedge be kept at a set height for years rather than escaping upward.
Why Private Green Mexican Cypress
Speed to screen: Among the faster screening conifers available in Australia, closing a gap between plants within a couple of seasons.
Narrow footprint: A columnar habit means it delivers height without stealing bed depth, which matters on tight boundaries.
Trims well: It takes regular light shearing and reshoots readily from trimmed foliage, so height can be capped.
Soft appearance: The foliage is finer and less rigid than most cypress, giving a softer edge to a formal screen.
Drought hardiness: Once established it copes with dry summers across inland and coastal southern Australia.
Ideal Applications
Boundary privacy screen: The core use, planted in a single row to block overlooking from neighbouring upper storeys.
Windbreak: Filters hot or cold wind across acreage and rural house sites.
Formal clipped hedge: Sheared twice yearly for a crisp green wall behind a pool or tennis court.
Backdrop planting: A dark uniform green ground against which flowering shrubs and sculpture read clearly.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 1 to 1.5m centres
Spacing (feature/avenue): 3 to 4m
Best Planting Season: Autumn and spring; autumn planting in warmer districts gives roots a head start before summer
Soil & Drainage: Well drained soil of any reasonable fertility. Heavy clay must be mounded or ripped, as cypress roots are intolerant of standing water and root rot is the main cause of failure in a hedge line.
Establishment Care: Water deeply twice a week for the first three months, tapering to weekly through the first summer, keeping water at the root zone rather than over the foliage. Mulch the full hedge line to 75mm, keep the base clear of grass, and begin light tip trimming once plants reach two thirds of the target height.
