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. In the early summer, a creamy florist like flower blooms. The weak point is that the roots are shallow and easy to collapse, leaves are dense so it is not suitable for high temperature and humidity like in Japan.
