Does anyone have information on Cupressus macrocarpa Wilma? Lemon Cypress? I would like to know it's hardiness zone as well as the care for it. I can't seem to find anything on the net?
Thanks for your help in advance.

It would probably be the same zones as the species, 7-10. Away from the coast it needs protection from dry, cold winds. I've got 'Goldcrest' on my porch and its been good.

Is 'Wilma' a synonym for 'Goldcrest'? (I see it sold as 'Wilma Goldcrest' and 'Goldcrest Wilma'), and Lemon Cypress a common name?

Hi...thanks for the replies. I was just told it was hardy to zone 5...and I didn't think so! This was at Lowe's. They also have another cypress...large shrub...and have it as hardy in our zone.
Are there any cypress that are hardy to our zone 5?
Terry...I'm really not sure on the Goldcrest...but sounds logical? I mean..how many Wilma names would there be? Lemon cypress is the common name.
Well..it's going back to Lowe's. I don't need another house plant..no matter how pretty and "smell good" it is!!!
Thanks again!

Zone 9, realistically. Marginal in zone 8, and definitely not zone 7.
