    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A vigorous, upright and narrow specimen that can reach 25 feet in 10 years. The rich yellow foliage has a lemon aroma and can tolerate salty wind. Makes a very handsome accent tree and is suitable for container gardening. Prefers lean soil, as too many nutrients may cause instability and bolting and may also not perform well with high summer heat and humidity.

    One of several golden forms of the revered Monterey cypress, this one providing not only a narrow, upright form in the garden, but also one of bright, rich yellow....and the aroma of lemon soap. An easy and fast grower to about 15 ft. Best if given somewhat lean soil, as too many nutrients make for bolting growth and instability -- at least in the plant. Fine container specimen. Wonderful as garden accent or formal element. Does not perform as well in high summer heat and humidity - e.g. Florida. Frost hardy to the upper end of USDA zone 7.
