Lemon Cypress (Hesperocyparis macrocarpa), is a needled evergreen prized for its vibrant chartreuse color and lemon fragrance. This compact variety is popular for smaller spaces and containers. Here’s why Lemon Cypress is the perfect addition for your home:

Appearance: Lemon Cypress is known for its sprightly chartreuse foliage, which provides a striking contrast to more common green conifers. The leaves are scale-like and densely packed, giving the plant a lush, bushy appearance.

Size: The plant generally has a compact, conical or pyramidal shape. It can grow to be around 4 to 6 feet tall and about 2 to 3 feet wide at maturity, making it suitable for small landscapes, rock gardens, or as a decorative container plant.

Sunlight and Soil: Lemon Cypress grows best in full sun, but can tolerate partial shade. This variety prefers sandy, well-drained soil. 

Watering: Lemon Cypress appreciates regular watering when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. They may require more frequent watering when first planted or when in a container, but can tolerate longer periods of dryness as they mature. 

Hardiness: Lemon Cypress is hardy in USDA zones 7-10. 

Maintenance: Lemon Cypress is low maintenance despite its rapid growth. Pruning and fertilization are typically not necessary with this variety. 

Overall, the Lemon Cypress is admired for its beautiful chartreuse needles, feathery texture, and lemon fragrance. Whether it’s used in the landscape or as a seasonal houseplant, this easy-care evergreen is a wonderful choice for gardeners everywhere.
