Lemon Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa ‘Goldcrest’)

Lemon Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa ‘Goldcrest’) is a striking evergreen conifer known for its bright chartreuse foliage and refreshing citrus fragrance. When the soft feathery needles are gently brushed, they release a light lemon scent that gives this plant its popular common name. Its naturally upright, narrow growth habit creates a tidy column of vibrant golden-green foliage that adds colour and texture to plant displays.

This compact conifer is often grown as a decorative indoor plant or seasonal accent, especially during the winter months when its bright foliage contrasts beautifully with other greenery. When grown in containers, Lemon Cypress maintains a manageable size and provides a structured, architectural form that works well in modern interiors, entryways, and patios.

Native to the Monterey cypress family, the ‘Goldcrest’ cultivar is valued for its ornamental appearance, fragrant foliage, and compact habit. Whether used as a bright indoor accent plant or placed outdoors in warm seasons, Lemon Cypress adds colour, texture, and a subtle citrus aroma to plant collections.
