Metasequoia glyptstroboides 10 – 12 cm

£225

dawn redwood

A vigorous, fast-growing conifer with fibrous, orange-brown bark, making a large, narrowly conical tree to 25m tall. Soft, bright green leaflets are held in two opposite ranks, giving the leaves a feathery appearance. Unusually for a conifer, this species is deciduous and the foliage takes on a tawny brown colour before dropping in autumn. An excellent specimen tree to grow where space is not an issue
