Cupressus macrocarpa ‘Gold Crest’

Cupressus macrocarpa ‘Gold Crest’, also known as the Gold Crest Monterey Cypress, is a striking evergreen conifer prized for its vibrant golden-yellow foliage. This cultivar typically grows 3 to 5 meters tall, with a narrow, columnar shape, making it ideal for small gardens or as a vertical accent in landscapes. The soft, scale-like leaves retain their golden color throughout the year, intensifying in full sun. Tolerant of a variety of soil types and coastal conditions, it thrives in well-drained soils and is drought-tolerant once established. Gold Crest is commonly used in hedges, specimen plantings, or as a standout ornamental tree.
