Cupressus cypress Wilma, commonly referred to as Goldcrest, is a popular evergreen conifer that develops into a columnar habit, prized for it's attractive foliage. Boasting bright golden-yellow foliage in ascending sprays, the needles of this plant give off a strong lemony smell when crushed. These conifers are commonly used as hedging due to their quick growth rate, they can reach a max height of 1.5-2.5m, spreading to 0.5-1m wide, making this cupressus an ideal screen hedge. Other than it's colourful foliage, another reason why this plant is so popular is due to its ease of care, it requires watering only when the soil is dry, and it can tolerate dry conditions once it is established, it will grow in almost any type of soil so long as it is well-drained. The foliage of this conifer will retain it's beautifully bright colour throughout winter while it is planted in a fully sunny position in the garden.
