Product Details
Weight: 12.00 kg

Botanical Name: Cupressus macrocarpa ‘Wilma’
Common Names: Wilma Cypress, Wilma Goldcrest, Lemon Cypress ‘Wilma’, Golden Monterey Cypress ‘Wilma’

📌 Product Description

Cupressus macrocarpa ‘Wilma’ is a compact, bright golden evergreen conifer known for its vibrant foliage and naturally narrow, columnar growth habit. A selected form of Monterey Cypress, ‘Wilma’ maintains a strong upright structure and produces fine, soft-textured foliage that emits a light lemon fragrance when brushed.

Its intense yellow-green colour remains attractive year-round, especially in full sun. Compared to standard ‘Goldcrest’, ‘Wilma’ is typically more compact and dense, making it especially suitable for containers, entrance features, and smaller garden spaces.

A popular choice in South African gardens, ‘Wilma’ offers bold colour contrast and architectural form with minimal maintenance.
