Product details

Cupressus macrocarpa Goldcrest, known as the Golden Monterey Cypress, makes a fine coastal conifer, grown either as a hedge or as a specimen tree.

Developed in Truro in the 1940s, its golden evergreen foliage is most vivid in the spring. It has a narrow oval habit when young that broadens with age.

A fine tree for a garden, Cupressus macrocarpa Goldcrest provides a lovely contrast against darker textures in the landscape, and it thrives on most free draining soils.

This tree thrives in a position with full sun, ensuring it receives the necessary 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Adaptable to a variety of soil types, including chalk, clay, loam, and sand, the 'Goldcrest' can flourish in diverse garden settings as long as the soil is well-drained. One of the low-maintenance features of this tree is that it requires no pruning, making it an ideal option for both novice and experienced gardeners seeking to enhance their landscape with minimal effort.

Mature Height: 7-12m
