About this Medium Lemon Cypress Bonsai, 9 Years Old (Cupressus macrocarpa)
A selected form of the Monterey Cypress, Cupressus macrocarpa, grown here for roughly 9 years and standing 12 to 13 inches. The foliage is fine in texture and a vivid yellow-green, held in a narrow columnar habit that broadens as the tree matures. Brushing a hand across it releases a sharp, unmistakable lemon fragrance, which is what most people remember about the plant. This conifer does well kept indoors. A red holiday bow measuring 3 by 4 inches accompanies the tree during December.
Lemon Cypress bonsai care
This is a living Lemon Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:
- Indoor / outdoor
- Wants cool, bright, airy outdoor conditions; often sold as an indoor novelty but struggles indoors long-term
- Light
- Full sun / maximum bright light (6–8 hours direct). Cannot tolerate shade — gets leggy and browns
- Water
- Moderate / dry-leaning. Water when the soil surface dries; drench thoroughly but never leave it soggy — overwatering is the #1 killer
- USDA zones
- Roughly 7–10; tender, frost-sensitive — must be protected from hard freezes
- #1 cause of death
- Overwatering / root rot (roots suffocate and rot from soggy soil — Phytophthora/Fusarium)
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Lemon Cypress bonsai care guide.
