Just spotted the Holiday Garden in Deco Pot Lemon Cypress at Costco, and it’s absolutely gorgeous if you’re looking for a festive statement piece that’s a little different from the usual poinsettias.
This is a live lemon cypress tree planted in a 5.8-gallon (22-liter) decorative pot that’s ready to display. The tree comes dressed up for the holidays with decorative elements, making it an instant centerpiece for your porch, entryway, or even indoors if you have a bright sunny spot.
The price is $34.99, which is pretty reasonable considering you’re getting a substantial live plant in a decorator pot. Compare that to what garden centers charge for similar-sized cypress trees plus a nice pot, and you’re coming out ahead.
The quality on these is typically solid, though keep in mind this is a live plant that needs proper care. Lemon cypress trees have that beautiful, fragrant foliage that smells citrusy when you brush against it. The downside? These need quite a bit of light and consistent watering, so they’re not exactly low-maintenance compared to a wreath.
Key Features:- Live lemon cypress tree in 5.8-gallon/22-liter container
- Comes in decorative holiday pot (no repotting needed)
- Fragrant citrus-scented foliage
- Ready-to-display with holiday decorations
- Can be kept year-round as a houseplant or outdoor plant (zones 7-10)

Bottom line: If you want something festive that’ll last well beyond the holidays and you’re willing to water it regularly, this is a beautiful find at $34.99. Just make sure you have a bright spot ready for it!
