Goldcrest

Goldcrest (Lemon Cypress, Cupressus Macrocarpa Goldcrest Wilma, Monterey Cypress, Lemon Pine, Lemon Cypress Wilma) is cherished for its vibrant golden-yellow foliage and delightful lemony fragrance, making it a popular choice for both outdoor and indoor gardening. Goldcrest is characterized by its bright, chartreuse to golden-yellow foliage, which retains its color year-round. The foliage is soft to the touch and emits a fresh lemony scent when brushed or crushed. Indoors, it typically grows to a manageable height of 3 to 5 feet. It has a natural, conical or pyramidal shape, with dense, upright branches that form a neat, compact silhouette. It can be pruned and shaped to maintain its form, making it a versatile plant for topiary. This plant has a moderate growth rate, meaning it will gradually increase in size but is not overly vigorous, making it suitable for indoor cultivation. Its vibrant yellow-green foliage adds a pop of color to indoor spaces, and its symmetrical, conical shape can enhance the aesthetic of any room. The natural lemon scent released by the foliage is refreshing and can act as a natural deodorizer for indoor spaces. Like many indoor plants, Goldcrest can help purify the air by removing toxins and releasing oxygen, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.
