A full sun lover, this plant is easily grown in moist, well-drained or poorly drained soils.Winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society.A single specimen is an imposing sightВ and groves are effective. A spectacular tree for stream banks or pond edges. Dawn shot up like a rocket while Evie and Melina grew gracefully and. She and all the other trees were living happily in the forest until puberty hit. They emerge light green and mature to a light brown in the fall. The male cones are light brown and arranged in hanging clusters, while the female cones are larger (1/2-1) and solitary with fused scales. She lived in a forest in China with other trees like the Gemelina hainanensis named Melina and a Keteleeria Evelynian named Evie. Because Metasequoia glyptostroboides is monecious, it bears both female and male cones on an individual plant. The glowing fall color of its lacy needles, picturesque bark and interesting winter silhouette are some of the outstanding characteristics of this Dawn Redwood. There was a tiny Metasequoia glyptostroboides tree named Dawn. Reddish on young trees, the bark on mature trees is darker, often deeply fissured, and attractively flared at the base. Delicate flat sprays of narrow, bright chartreuse yellow leaves emerge in spring, mature to golden yellow in summer, before warming up to rich shades of orange-brown in the fall. Unlike most cone-bearing trees, it loses its foliage each winter. It features an upright, narrowly conical form that enhances many landscapes. Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Gold Rush' (Dawn Redwood) is a large deciduous coniferous tree of great beauty.
