Description
A large deciduous tree of Chinese origin, the Metasequoia Glyptostroboides or Dawn redwood is one of the rare conifers to lose its leaves in autumn. Growing up to 50 to 60 m high and spreading out to 8 m, this tree with its conical shape is ideally suited to large parks where it sits majestically.
The Dawn redwood grows rapidly, up to 1 m per year in the juvenile stage and 40 to 50 cm thereafter. Its trunk is very straight (up to 2 m in diameter after a few decades) and twisted at the base, and its reddish bark makes it very ornamental. Its fine, flattened pinnate leaves are soft to the touch. This original foliage, tender green in spring and turning copper red in autumn, will bring colour and harmony to your garden, offering a real spectacle.
The Metasequoia Glyptostroboides should be planted in acidic, cool, rich and slightly moist soil. It can be pruned very well and can be trained into a hedge.
The genus Metasequoia was long thought to be extinct until a few living specimens were rediscovered in the depths of China in 1941. Metasequoia Glyptostroboides is listed as endangered in the IUCN Red List of Wild Species.
