Description

A lovely, deciduous conifer, Metasequoia glyptostroboides has soft, feathery foliage that is lush green throughout the spring and summer, before turning yellow and bronze in the autumn. Known as a Dawn Redwood or Water Larch tree, it has rough, fibrous and dark mahogany brown bark.

Metasequoia glyptostroboides will grow to 12 x 5 metres in 20 years and is most deserving of a space in gardens with enough space, as it is critically endangered in the wild. Plant this tree in a sheltered position with sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained soil. It will tolerate waterlogged soils and boggy positions if planted out of exposure.

Nigel's Nursery Notes: The third photo was a 150-200cm tree like our 12L stock that I planted in 2008 and is now around 8 metres tall!

Planting Steps

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
