Monterey Cypress 'Wilma', Hesperocyparis macrocarpa 'Wilma', Cupressus macrocarpa 'Wilma Goldcrest'
Prized for its foliage, award-winning Cupressus macrocarpa ‘Wilma’ (Monterey Cypress) is a small, columnar, evergreen conifer boasting a bright golden-yellow foliage in ascending sprays. When crushed the needles smell strongly of lemon. The foliage retains its brilliant color in winter if planted in full sun. The chartreuse foliage of this slow-growing Monterey Cypress (6 in. per year or 15 cm) creates a striking contrast against the ravishing pale reddish-brown bark. A lovely and easy-to-grow specimen, hedge, or container plant. Perfect for small gardens.
