Cupressus macrocarpa 'Golden Pillar' is a striking cultivar of the Monterey cypress, prized for its narrow, columnar growth habit and vibrant golden foliage. This evergreen conifer is native to the Central Coast of California but has become popular in many parts of the world, including Australia, for its ornamental value.

To grow Cupressus macrocarpa 'Golden Pillar', plant it in a sunny position in well-draining soil. This cultivar is relatively low-maintenance once established and is drought-tolerant, making it suitable for a wide range of garden styles. Pruning is generally not necessary, but occasional shaping can help maintain its narrow form. 'Golden Pillar' is an excellent choice for adding year-round color and structure to Australian gardens.
