Lemon Cypress
Cupressus macrocarpa
This evergreen grows naturally in a dense and compact pyramidal form and boasts soft, chartreuse foliage that smells like fresh lemons. Great for containers as a houseplant or on the deck, or plant in the garden for that bright yellow-green accent.
This cypress prefers full sun, but can tolerate some light shade and is not fussy about soil as long as it is well draining (adapted to grow in poor, infertile soil so do not enrich the soil). It will grow to 6-8ft in 10 years with a width of just 1-2ft, having a narrow columnar habit. Pruning is seldom needed, although it can be gently shaped in spring if necessary. Water weekly if used as houseplant and until established if planted outdoors.
Its smaller size and slower rate of growth lends well to smaller garden spaces and container gardens. Freshen up your indoor decor or sunny garden with the Lemon Cypress!
Hardiness zone: 7-10
Non-toxic and pet friendly! Also deer resistant.

Welcome to The Plant Firm
The Plant Firm was created during the lockdown of 2020 as a fun project to give me something to do. It quickly became a much larger endeavor and one that I knew needed more attention to be done right. I was tired of paying an arm and a leg for plants at the big box store and saw an opportunity to save people time and money while also delivering straight to their door. So, here we are in 2023. Officially up and running with an amazing team, more plants, and a desire to provide you with better plants at better prices!
