Beth Matney recently wrote and inquired about:
> Cypress 'Irish Mint'
Beth--
The cultivar "Irish Mint" ( x Cupressocyparis leylandi "Irish Mint™ )
was developed by Plant Development Services, Inc. -- Loxley, AL
http://www.plantdevelopment.com/
You'll find this cultivar listed under the "Plants Developed" heading on
the "Plant Lists" page of their web site, however, details regarding
growth characteristics are not included.
A quick search for the species Cupressocyparis leylandi, provided the
following information:
Growth rate and size at maturity: Fast growing, 36" per year; 60-100
feet, with a spread of 15-20 feet
Growing requirements: full sun, moderate water; Will tolerate both heat
and humidity.
USDA zones 6-10
To obtain more specific details regarding this cultivar, I would suggest
contacting the nursery from where you purchased these trees. As a
selected retailer of this cultivar, they will have all of the data
provided by the grower and I believe that they are in the best position
to supply you with all of the pertinent information that you require.
As an alternative, you could also try to contact Plant Development
Services, Inc directly. You will find their phone/fax number and email
address on the "Contact" page of their web site.
Good luck-
