Cupressus m. (Goldcrest) Wilma P17

Cupressus macrocarpa ‘Wilma’ (often sold as ‘Goldcrest Wilma’) is a compact, narrowly conical, evergreen Monterey cypress valued for its bright yellow foliage that releases a fresh lemon scent when touched. Best in full sun to light shade and well-drained soil, it forms a neat architectural accent for borders, entranceways or containers, retaining year-round colour and shape. Provide shelter from cold, drying winds; prune lightly if needed to maintain its tidy outline.
