Wilma, a dwarf form of ‘Goldcrest’, is a beautiful golden conifer with a bushy, cone-shape that tapers at the tip. Its fragrant, lemon-yellow foliage deepens in color depending on sunlight intensity. The young, fine-textured, soft foliage matures into glossy, firm, flattened sprays. Low-maintenance, compact, and slow-growing, ‘Wilma’ is a cypress well-suited to containers, borders, or as a focal point. It is naturally cone-shaped, but this dwarf golden cypress can also be shaped into other topiary forms.

This chartreuse dwarf form of Cupressus macrocarpa is known by several names, including Hesperocyparis macrocarpa 'Wilma Goldcrest', Lemon Cypress, Goldcrest Wilma, and Golden Monterey Cypress. Whatever you call it, Wilma is both mesmerizing and luminous. Although technically an evergreen tree, Wilma’s short mature size and slow growth—about 6 inches per year under optimal conditions—give it the appearance of a shrub.
