Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:
How do I care for an indoor Lemon Cypress tree?ANSWER:
Mr. Smarty Plants answered this same question a few months ago, and would like to quote that answer, with several Internet links that should answer your question.
"The Lemon Cypress is a cultivar called Goldcrest, or Golden Crest, of Cupressus macrocarpa (Monterey cypress). You can read more about the tree from Plants for a Future, Floridata.com and from the Florida Cooperative Extension Service. Here are some intructions for outdoor care from ShootGardening and you can find care instructions for indoor Cupressus macrocarpa at indoor-plant-care.com and from the TopiaryShop."
