Golden Metasequoia 'Amber Glow'
FamilyCupressaceae
Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Amber Glow', also known as Golden Dawn Redwood, is a spectacular deciduous conifer with bright golden yellow foliage in spring and summer, turning coppery orange in autumn before falling. Its regular conical shape and straight, slender growth make it an ideal architectural tree for a standalone feature or to create a luminous backdrop in a large landscape. Less imposing than the botanical type, 'Amber Glow' also stands out for its better resistance to sun and leaf scorch, while maintaining excellent hardiness. It prefers deep, fresh, well-drained soil, as well as a sunny to partially shaded exposure. Its golden foliage, majestic silhouette, and fine texture make it an original and uncommon ornamental choice for structuring the garden with elegance and seasonality.
