Monterey cypress 'Goldcrest' Hedge Plants Description
This very popular conifer has bright lime/yellow foliage and an upright narrow shape. In summer, its foliage is lemon scented particularly when cut or brushed. It's quite vigorous, growing by 30-60cm per annum and will grow up to 5m in height but is happy to be kept lower. It is good in any free draining soil in sun or partial shade and well suited to coastal positions.
For our full range of coniferous species, including fast growing conifer hedge plants, please see the Conifer hedging section. You can also view our entire selction of Evergreen hedging for conifer alternatives.
All these plants are available all year round.
You can view Montery cypress 'Goldcrest' (Cupressus macroparpa 'Goldcrest') within our colourful foliage section along with a number of plants which exhibit a variety of beautiful shades.
For more information on planting distances please see our
planting density advice section. As a general rule, small pots such as 2L pots can be planted anything from 2 up to about 6 per metre (if planting in a double staggered row) whereas larger pots will require a smaller number per metre due to their increased size, usually 2 - 4 per metre.
No immediate pruning required but can be pruned to control height and spread. This should be done in late Spring.
