Do new leylandii go darker in time?

I’ve purchased 7 6.5ft letlandii to replace two sections burnt down.

The supplier (in fact two different ones) told me all the common ones are more or less same colour.

But the ones I’ve bought are clearly lighter green. So I’m curious if they’ll always be lighter or over time darken and blend in.

Thanks

 

Just confirming Voobwm. Are they a lighter green or golden? A picture would be helpful please.

 

Hi @Voobwm , as @Sheal said a picture would be helpful.

Didn't you buy them as named plants ?

There are 40+ named Varieties/Hybrids of Cupressus Leylandii, all with different foliage ranging through all shades of green to variegated hybrids with gold, silver or white in them.

If it was me I think I'd ring the suppliers up and ask for their names.

 

Answer to original question. YES.

 

@FFF I bought them online and the few websites that come top don’t name them but call them just Green Leylandii.

It may not be too bad because actually I think the one next to the new trees is darken, then after that lighter. So it may actually be a previous tree planted by the previous owner as the odd one out not my new ones.

Photo attached you can see they are lighter. They still may be lighter than the rest but the one to the left is even darker than the rest.you can see to the far left a couple of branches of the next tree which is a lighter green again so I think they’ll match those so it’s the one on the left the odd one out so maybe not too bad after all.

 

Thanks for the picture. I think they will remain light in colour but there is a chance they might darken slightly with maturity and trimming but won't be as dark as the others.
