Description

Hesperocyparis (Cupressus) macrocarpa ‘Goldcrest’ is a striking cultivar of the Monterey Cypress native to the central California coast that has been selected for its narrow, upright, columnar habit and vibrant golden-yellow, lemon-scented foliage. The scale-like needles retain bright colour through winter and when crushed emit a fresh citrus aroma. While the species can become a very large, broad-crowned tree in its native habitat, ‘Goldcrest’ maintains a more manageable, erect form suited to accents, specimens or hedges. It’s tolerant of well-drained, sandy or coastal soils and salt spray, making it particularly valuable for seaside or Mediterranean-style landscapes. This cultivar has been recognised with the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit for its ornamental appeal and garden performance.

Bright golden-yellow foliage that remains vibrant through winter and gives strong citrus aroma when foliage is rubbed.
Upright, narrow, columnar form (especially when young) that makes it suitable for small spaces, containers or as a vertical accent.
Tolerance of sandy, well-drained soils, dry conditions once established, and salt wind (making it helpful for coastal plantings) while maintaining good colour.
