GoldCrest (Scientific name: Cupressus macrocarpa 'Gold Crest') is a cultivar of the evergreen needle-leaved tall trees which is "Monterey cypress" of the family Cypressae native to California Coast in North America. The leaves of Monterey cypress are greenish, however the leaves of Gold Crest become golden. The gentle tree shape and light yellow leaf color which looks like gold are preferred and planted well.
