Growing Zones 5-8
When you first lay eyes on the Amber Glow™ Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'WAH-08AG'), you will blink once, twice, and even a third time because its foliage is just so bright and unbelievably attractive. This ancient and stunning tree is truly a gift to own.
This striking Redwood was once thought to be extinct until it was rediscovered in the mid-20th century. And while that is quite intriguing, the age of this particular species is even more impressive. The Redwood has been around for over 50 million years. Dinosaurs probably used it to add color to their front yards.
The Amber Glow™ Dawn Redwood grows quickly for a Redwood (which is like saying "fast for a sloth") and reaches soaring heights. It maintains a narrow pyramidal form as its trunk thickens and expands with fluted segments, similar to a Cypress tree.
And given the Amber Glow™ Dawn Redwood has feathery, chartreuse foliage that deepens to a glowing fiery red, orange, or yellow in the fall, it is difficult to find a better ornamental tree with this much pep. This lovely tree's needles are as soft as feathers, too!
Landscape Application:
The Amber Glow™ Dawn Redwood makes a wonderful and impressive specimen tree. The glowing color and 30 - 40 feet height of this tree make it a prominent beacon as a front lawn tree.
Dawn Redwood also adds eye-popping contrast to your tree-line along a wooded area or in the lowlands where water collects. Fantastic additions to windbreaks and shelterbelts all growing season. A single tree brings in the wildlife and songbirds so imagine a park-like grove or grouping if you have the room!
- Bright Yellow Soft Evergreen Foliage
- Orange Fall Foliage
- Deciduous Conifer
- Straight Trunks Develop Flared Bases With Age
- Long-Lived Heritage Tree
- Prominent Lawn & Specimens & Wildlife-Friendly Trees
#ProPlantTips for Care:
This unique deciduous evergreen grows well in full sun, and younger trees handle partial shade until they outgrow or outlive their neighbors. Plant in a nice roomy area with well-drained soil and regular moisture access. Once established, doesn't need special care beyond a deep layer of mulch and a late winter trim when needed to correct growth when young. Check with your local County Extension Office to see if a Redwood grows well in your climate.
- Full Sun & Some Part Shade
- Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate to Higher Moisture Needs
- Appreciates Mulched Beds
- Low Maintenance - Late Winter Pruning If Needed
