FLC is right but if you already have them, keeping them alive in the pots is even more labor intensive. Myself I'd dig the holes a bit bigger, mix in some peat moss to the soil and water deep with a soaker hose. Leyland Cypress are kinda hard to kill with even a modest amount of water. My mom always liked watering them in with some B1 fertilizer.

Put in irrigation at the same time.

There's a stretch by our local highway where the city recently planted probably 75-100 arbs to make a screen blocking the city public works garage. Atleast half are dead as dead can get, only been in the ground a couple months. So they got planted in spring, but the heat and drought and lack of water has smokeda bunch.

Your best chance to have them survive is plant them in fall.

Why is anyone still planting Leyland Cypress? I’m assuming because they are a lot cheaper than Green Giants. Far too many issues with them

Wait until the Fall. Not sure where you ar located. Here in the Northeast we are suffering from high temps and drought.

I think the poster is just messing with the board, Barry.

Who would buy them before knowing the planting layout and plan?

38 no less!
