Evergreen Comfort For This Season and the Years After

The Lemon Cypress is a compact, cone shaped evergreen with soft, golden green foliage that gives off a fresh lemon scent when you brush it. This tree arrives in a red holiday pot, ready to give. It loves bright light and cool air. In mild climates it stays outdoors on a porch or patio, and in colder climates it spends winter in the coolest bright room in the house.

Holiday Delivery: Ships starting November 9. Order by December 17 for delivery by December 23. 

Please note: these holiday items ship directly from our nursery, so a gift message or care card can’t be included. You may want to send a card separately.

Why You Will Love the Lemon Cypress

  • A fresh lemon scent: brush the foliage and it releases a clean citrus scent, a small moment of comfort each time you care for it.
  • Golden green through winter: this evergreen keeps its bright color when most gardens are bare, a living presence in a quiet season.
  • Ready to give: it arrives in a red holiday pot, so it can go straight to a porch or a bright, cool windowsill with nothing to wrap or assemble.
  • A gift that outlasts the season: unlike cut flowers or a cut tree, it keeps growing after the holidays, in a larger pot or, in mild climates, in the ground.
  • Compact and easy to place: in a container it typically stays 3 to 5 feet tall, and light trimming keeps its neat, cone shaped form.

Caring for Your Tree Through the Holidays and Beyond

  • Light: give it your brightest window, ideally with a few hours of direct sun each day. In low light it loses its golden color and thins.
  • Water: keep the soil evenly moist. Never let it dry out completely, and never let it sit in standing water. Indoors in winter, check the soil every few days. If the holiday pot has no drainage hole, empty any water that collects after watering.
  • Temperature: Cool is better: nights around 55 to 65°F are ideal, and it struggles above 80°F. Keep it away from heat vents, fireplaces, and radiators.
  • Humidity: dry indoor heat is its biggest challenge. A humidifier or a tray of pebbles and water nearby helps keep the foliage soft.
  • After the holidays: in spring, once frost has passed, move it to a sunny patio. In USDA zones 7 to 10 it can be planted in the ground. In colder zones, repot it into a larger container and bring it back inside to a cool, bright room each winter.
  • That is it: two habits matter most, bright light and soil that never fully dries out. Get those right and the Lemon Cypress settles in well.

Each moment caring for their tree becomes a quiet act of remembrance.

Where it grows: outdoors year round in USDA zones 7 to 10

When will it arrive if I order it for the holidays?

The Lemon Cypress ships starting November 9. Order by December 17 for delivery by December 23. We ship within the contiguous United States, except Arizona and Oregon, where state plant rules do not allow this tree.

Is this a good sympathy gift for someone facing their first holidays after a loss?

Yes. The first holidays after a death are often the hardest, and a living tree gives someone something gentle to care for during that season. It arrives in a red holiday pot with a personalized message, ready to set in a bright window, and unlike flowers it keeps growing after the holidays are over.

What if they are not ready to plant right away?

There is no rush. The Lemon Cypress is meant to stay in its holiday pot indoors through the winter, and the kit includes simple instructions to care for your tree until planting time. The kit waits with you. Many customers plant on significant dates: a birthday, an anniversary, or another important day. For this tree, spring is the natural time to repot or plant outdoors.

Is the Lemon Cypress easy to care for? We are not experienced gardeners.

Yes, as long as two things are right: bright light and soil that never dries out completely. Give it your sunniest window, keep it away from heat vents and fireplaces, and check the soil every few days. The care guide walks you through each step.

What do I do with the Lemon Cypress after the holidays?

Keep it in a bright, cool spot through winter. In spring, once frost has passed, it can move to a sunny patio. In USDA zones 7 to 10 it can be planted in the ground, where it lives outdoors year round. In colder zones, repot it into a larger container, enjoy it outside in summer, and bring it back indoors to a cool, bright room each winter.

How big does the Lemon Cypress get?

In a container, it typically stays about 3 to 5 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, and light trimming keeps it compact. Planted in the ground in a mild climate, it can grow to about 10 feet. With good light and steady watering, it can be a living memorial for many years.

What makes Treebute different from other memorial tree options?

Treebute is designed to be planted at home, in your own yard, patio, or indoor space. A Treebute grows right where you can see it. It becomes a gentle, living presence in your daily life.
