Customer Preference In regard to customer preference, our experience has been similar to that of Leyland growers across the South -- most customers prefer Leyland cypress over Virginia pine whenever given a choice.

I heard one grower say "I'm going to stop planting Virginia pine and just plant Leyland cypress because they grow themselves.
And, because we were planting so many Leyland Cypress each year, we began rooting out own (Leylands will only reproduce vegetatively) and selling planting stock to other Christmas Tree growers and to the public as landscape trees.
Moisture Control Although Leyland cypress will stand more soil moisture than Virginia pine, it still doesn't like wet feet.
