Cut a Leyland cypress at a family farm
The Tassin family has cut down its own tree since the children were young.

The main variety is Leyland cypress, a fast-growing evergreen that grows about 3 feet a year, and about 150 trees a year are available for cutting. Prices are set by height and fullness and run from $30 to $150.
