Is Leyland Cypress the same as....

other Cypress?

Anyone turn this stuff?

[Maria Alvarado]

Jim,
That's eerie, I just got on to ask the same thing. I wonder if we both picked up wood from the same curb...
At least I think mine is Leyland cypress, foliage seemed like it, and my car smells like kennel bedding.
Good luck with yours!

[Von Bickley]

No..... The cypress wood that woodworkers use is from the Bald Cypress.

[Ron McKinley]

I agree with Von. Leyland Cypress seems to be used mostly as a growing privacy screen. Not like the Bald Cypress trees that I grew up with in South Georgia......Ron

Leyland Cypress is a very fast growing screen plant around here. Grows about 3' per year. Gets to about 20' high, glorified hedge really.

Hey if it's free wood it's still good!

[Jim Underwood]

Thanks for the responses folks... but....

Whoops! I should re-phrase my question...

I'm aware that it's a different tree, but is the wood still similar?
