Cupressus macrocarpa - Goldcrest Wilma

This is a nice looking cypress which warm yellow/green color seems to add a bit of sunlight even on cloudy days. The branches are fine and look beautiful in scale with the railway.
I planted 2 of these in September 2018 near the little mansion. The flowerbed strongly slanted downwards at this spot so some rocks were placed to prevent soil from sinking away.
 

Planted September 2018

Seems like a strong plant

September 2018

May 2019

Only one of the 2 survived the winter. The second turned dry and did not recover.  I actually don't know what happened. Perhaps the spot was too difficult or water ran off too quickly.
The survivor seems doing alright. Some more of these would make a nice little forest.
