Metasequoia g. Amber Glow™ #6

A brilliant yellow dawn redwood that does not burn in the hot summer months. The foliage emerges in spring with a touch of burgundy that is quickly replaced by completely yellow needles. Fall brings on an orange tinge before needle drop and the characteristic reddish brown shaggy bark is exposed for the winter garden visitor. Selected as a seedling of ‘Gold Rush’, it is fast growing but maintains a compact look. Grow in full sun. Garden size is 25'h x 15'w, but will go higher with age. Hardy to Zone 5
