The soft, bright golden-yellow foliage of Cupressus 'Goldcrest' will provide your garden with healthy colour all year round and (in keeping with its name) gives off a fresh, lemon scent when foliage is crushed or cut - which is said to deter biting insects from that area of your garden. In the depths of winter, the cooler temperatures give the trees a deeper, richer colouration, giving you added visual impact in your garden. Also known as Monterey cypress, it's such a great all-round garden plant it has been awarded the coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit so you can be sure that it has been trialled and tested and declared garden worthy! Growing to 3-5m tall in 10 years, Goldcrest is naturally upright and slightly 'teardrop' shaped but can be trimmed to suit your required height and makes perfect topiary. It is very easy to manage and can be kept in post on the patio for many years, where it will happily sit at centre stage of your displays. Golden Scented Cypress will grow in virtually any soil and in any location from full sun to partial shade (although for the brightest of golden-yellow colour it is best in full sun and protected from drying winds). It is completely winter hardy throughout the entire UK and is virtually pest and disease resistant too. Supplied as 6 x plants in 9cm pots, ready for planting out into the desired location.
This lime green/gold coloured 'Monterey Cypress' makes a wonderful evergreen addition to your garden. Upright in habit, it is useful for dotting in beds or borders, planting in patio containers, or even used to create a hedge. The foliage bears a subtle lemon aroma when brushed past. Ideal in full-sun positions but avoid extreme cold winter winds. Ht. 2.5m. Supplied in 10.5cm pots.
A conifer often associated with the Tuscan countryside, Italian Cypress makes a superb evergreen feature in the garden. Also known as the Mediterranean Cypress, this stately, drought-tolerant tree has a tall columnar habit, looking fabulous planted either side of an entranceway or as an architectural focal point in the garden.
Treat yourself to a pair of these gorgeous Italian Cypress trees, and add a touch of Mediterranean class to your garden. Seen all over Italy, these spectacular architectural conifers will add height and year-round interest wherever you plant them. With their elegant, pencil thin form, they'll look simply stunning framing a door or gateway, or in a terracotta pot. Not to be confused with vigorous Leylandii, these slender, manageable beauties are slower growing and wont get out of hand - you can even grow them on your patio! They are of course very drought tolerant, but also completely hardy and evergreen, so they'll thrive here in the UK and look magnificent all year round whatever the weather! For best results, remove the cones that appear, as these can pull the branches apart, losing shape.

If using a container, a sol based potting compost is ideal.- Dig a planting hole larger than the root ball of the cypress tree and add organic matter into the hole. We recommend the use of mycorrhizal fungi when planting.- Place the tree into the hole and backfill, ensuring that the stem is at the same level as when it was in the pot. Press the soil firmly around the base of the trees trunk.- Water thoroughly. You need to water the tree regularly for the first two growing seasons. Once established, this tree is drought tolerant. Container plants will need regular watering.- After first planting, mulch with 2-3 inches of organic matter to retain moisture in the soil and prevent competition from weeds.- Annual maintenance is easy, simply check for any damaged or dead growth and prune as necessary.Planting Time:February - OctoberAbout You GardenEstablished for over 50 years, our award winning trusted plant supplier are based in South Lincolnshire.
