Leyland Cypress Fire Damage: Recovery Outlook

A grass fire scorched the lower limbs of your Leyland cypresses. Leylands are highly flammable when dry, so you're fortunate the main trunks weren't engulfed.

What to Expect

Burned branches will not re-leaf. Over several years, adjacent limbs may fill the gap. If the main trunk wasn't damaged, the trees will gradually look normal again. Patience is key.
