Further Information
For more information on planting distances please see our planting density advice section. Prices shown are the price per plant unless otherwise stated.
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.
Pruning Advice
Monterey cypress Goldcrest requires little if any pruning being a member of the conifer family. However, if you wish to limit its spread or height, then trimming can be done in late spring after the last frosts.
We'd advise not to overtrim however, as this could unduly damage the plant leaving it more easily susceptible to disease, including fungal diseases such as honey fungus. This can result in unsightly brown patches affecting the lovely yellow-green foliage for which the plant is noted.

Choose Monterey cypress 'Goldcrest' Hedge root types
What are root types?
Root types explained.
-
Bare root
Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
-
Pot grown
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
-
Root ball
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
-
Instant
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hedging troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
