Cupressus macrocarpa 'Lemon Scent' (Lemon Scented Cypress)

Cupressus macrocarpa 'Lemon Scent' (Lemon Scented Cypress) is a distinctive conifer valued for its vibrant golden-yellow foliage and refreshing lemon scent when brushed or crushed. This evergreen tree features soft, needle-like leaves that maintain their bright colour year-round, creating a striking visual impact in the landscape. Its upright, columnar growth habit makes it ideal for formal hedging, screening, or as a feature tree in larger gardens.

Well-suited to coastal conditions, this cypress variety thrives in well-drained soils and full sun. It demonstrates good tolerance to salt spray and wind once established. The Lemon Scented Cypress is particularly valued for its aromatic qualities, colourful foliage, and ability to provide year-round structure and interest in garden designs.
