Lemon scented Monterey Cypress

Thank you. It is just a little thing now. This is what I would like to achieve with it in my lifetime is this:

It is neon green during the winter and more yellow during the summer.
Yes it has a lemon scent and it is deer resistant. I guess deer do not like lemons :-)

I noticed that some GoY members grow them as well.

Someday it'll be a very large tree, right? ...or is it going to be a bonsai?

No bonsai Delonix. This is a massive tree and hopfully I will be able to see it at fair size in my lifetime. The little pot is just its temporary spot for it. One day it will be as big as the stump it is sitting on right now or bigger if the next owner will keep it. We live on 8 acres so I have a spot for it.

I know I've seen huge Monterey Cypresses in the San Francisco Bay Area and in Monterey.

As I understand , they are native trees there and do not grow naturally anywhere else. I read somewhere that they are some large ones in Hawaii, is it true?
I was also surprised that it is one of the parents of Leyland Cypress, the other parent is a Nootka Cypress(Cupressus nootkatensis) ....from wiki. We have lots of Nootka Cypresses around this area.
The golden one in my picture...'Goldcrest'.... has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Yes, there are native Cyperus trees in Hawaii. I can't remember if I've seen them.
