Also known as Wilma Goldcrest, Monterey, Lemon Cypress, the Cupressus macrocarpa has a wonderful color to add a blast of color to your miniature garden. Otherwise know as a lemon cypress because the branches smell like lemon when rubbed gently.
It's a great conifer for indoors, or outdoors in the summer and you can move it indoors for the winter. This tree needs really bright indirect light - add light to any indoor setting with grow light-bulbs that can fit in your regular lamps.
