Lemon Cypress ‘Goldcrest’: Bright Color, Fresh Scent, and Festive Style

Lemon cypress ‘Goldcrest’ has become a popular holiday plant thanks to its vibrant chartreuse foliage and refreshing citrus fragrance. Its naturally conical shape gives it a tree-like appearance, making it a modern, cheerful alternative to traditional evergreens.

Holiday Appeal
During the festive season, these small, upright evergreens shine as tabletop trees, mantel accents, or entryway décor. Their bright yellow-green color adds a lively contrast to classic holiday reds and whites, and they look especially charming in decorative pots or lightly adorned with miniature ornaments. Their crisp lemon scent also brings a fresh, natural aroma to indoor spaces—perfect for holiday gatherings.

Care Tips for Indoors
Lemon cypress prefers bright, indirect light all day (morning direct sun is ok) so placing it near a sunny window is key. Indoors, it appreciates cooler temperatures when possible, especially at night. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy; these plants dislike drying out completely. Occasional misting can help maintain humidity and prevent browning at the tips.

After the Holidays
Once festivities are over, lemon cypress can continue to thrive as a year-round houseplant. In mild climates, it may even transition outdoors where it can grow into a small, striking landscape tree. With proper care, your holiday lemon cypress can become a long-lasting part of your home’s greenery.

Bright, fragrant, and festive, ‘Goldcrest’ brings a stylish twist to holiday decorating while doubling as an easy-care evergreen for the rest of the year.
