Murray Cypress in 3 gallon pots - case of 4 trees

We came across the fast growing Murray Cypress tree about 12 years ago when it was called 'Ovensii.'

Murray Cypress is FASTER GROWING than the regular Leyland Cypress ('Leighton Green'), has a DARKER GREEN color, and may be MORE RESISTANT to fungus.

Murray Cypress is an evergreen tree hardy in zones 6 - 9, grows to 50 ft high, 12 ft wide. Plant as close as 6' for a solid privacy hedge.

NOTE:  Sometimes advertised height size of a plant is misleading.  A 3' plant is usually too small for a 1 gallon pot and is more than likely rootbound.  (Nurseries end up with plants too big for the pots they're in because of inventory that doesn't sell before the next growing season arrives.)  The roots of rootbound plants take longer to "break free" and begin growing.  Such plants tend to sit in the ground for months without much top growth.  It's much better to have plants where the roots have not totally filled the pots and are a bit loose. 

In terms of maximum growth after planting, our recommended sizes of evergreen trees for their respective pots are:
