Monterey Cypress

Plume-like sprays of gorgeous, golden-yellow, lemon-scented leaves and spherical, brown, female cones. This Monterey cypress makes a beautiful specimen tree for a small, sunny, sheltered garden with well-drained soil. For the best results the narrowly conical to columnar shape needs to be balanced with other rounded and prostrate forms.Position: full sunSoil: any well-drained soilRate of growth: fast-growingOther features: spherical, brown, female conesHardiness: fully hardyGarden care: Remove any competing leaders that appear in spring, cutting out the weaker or crooked shoot cleanly at its baseGoes well with: Taxus baccata, Juniperus horizontalis 'Blue Chips', Buxus sempervirens, Anemone x hybrida, Hedera helix 'Green Ripple', Pinus mugo 'Pumilio Group'
