What you will get:
You will receive a starter of the lemon cypress tree (Cupressus macrocarpa) growing in a 2.5” pot.
Description
The lemon cypress, or Goldcrest, is a dwarf evergreen tree with a tight, columnar and shrub-like shape. The plant is exceptional because its bright golden yellow color stands out of the common greens. Its pleasant citrus fragrance is another unique feature. Goldcrest can be grown outdoors or indoors. Can be planted to the ground or in a container.
Care tips
Goldcrest requires well-draining soil regardless of the soil texture. Two important care tips that are extremely important to keep these small trees healthy:
1. Goldcrest likes full sun and cannot tolerate shade. When grown outside, plant it to a sunny spot. Indoors, direct sunlight is necessary.
2. Do not let the soil dry out or the plant will be damaged or die. Keep the soil moist all the time but not over watering.
Although lemon cypress likes low temperatures when grown indoors, it is not cold hardy in the USDA zones lower than 6. It can be fed in the beginning of the growing season with a slow- releasing plant food.
