Sold under the name of ‘Schirrmann’s Nordlicht’ in Europe. After the tree drops its foliage in fall, plant it in the garden. A dwarf globose form with cream-yellow foliage with reddish branchlet highlights. Water the plant with 2 inches of water each week for the rest of the season.When roots have developed, transplant the cutting into a 1-gallon nursery container filled with a mixture of equal parts loam, sand, and compost.It may take two or even three months for anchoring roots to develop. Test for roots after one month by tugging on the branch to see if roots are holding it in place.Placing the pot on a heated mat may speed up the rooting process. The leaves turn a chartreuse color as the summer progresses and then in fall they take on a bright orange hue. Place the pot in a sheltered outdoor area and keep the sand constantly moist. Metasequoia glyptostroboides ‘Soul Fire’ WMETASOL Extraordinary color for spring, summer, and fall Bright, lime-green needles emerge with a rosy orange touch.Insert the branch, cut side down, into the pot of sand, burying it to about 1/2 its length.Coat the cut end and the scraped area with acid rooting powder.In 1998, the Arboretum’s magazine, Arnoldia, named the dawn redwood the tree of the century. UNIV., NANKING, CHINA Dawn Redwood This dawn redwood is among the first of its kind to grow in North America in over two million years. Scrape off a segment of bark about 1/2-inch long and 1/4-inch wide near the cut end of the branch but take care not to damage the leaf node. Metasequoia glyptostroboides SD - LINEAGE 524-48 - 1948 - 1948 W - WILD ORIGIN - CHINA - CHENG, W.C. Angle the cut end at 45-degrees, just below a leaf node. Unlike most cone-bearing trees, it loses its foliage each winter. It features an upright, narrowly conical form that enhances many landscapes. An ideal cutting will have a stem about 1/4-inch thick. Metasequoia, or dawn redwoods, is a genus of fast-growing deciduous trees, one of three species of conifers known as redwoods. Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Gold Rush' (Dawn Redwood) is a large deciduous coniferous tree of great beauty. Cut a 6-inch-long shoot from a side branch on the tree with a pruning saw.Run water through the container for five minutes to rinse it thoroughly.It prefers a damp habitat, and the Cambridge tree is grown next to the Lake to compensate for the low rainfall in. The Garden’s specimen tree by the Lake has a superb, rugged, ridged trunk unusual in cultivation. Fill a 1-gallon nursery container with sand up to within 2 inches of the top. The strong pyramidal winter silhouette is also very pleasing, making the Dawn Redwood a strong contender for year-round interest.The Spruce Home Improvement Review Board.By rights, it should probably be listed as Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Ogon' GOLD RUSH to preserve its original cultivar name. 'Gold Rush' was found as a seedling in a nursery in Japan where it was named 'Ogon' ('Golden Ogi' and 'Golden Mantel', also seen, are most likely translations.) Around 1993 Dutch horticulturist Peter Zweinburg of Boskoop, Holland obtained it and brought it into Europe for distribution under the name ‘Gold Rush’ ('Goldrush'). Trees will typically rise to 10-15’ tall over the first 10 years, eventually maturing over time to 70-100’ tall. It reportedly grows somewhat slower than the species. Foliage gradually turns orange-brown in fall. ‘Gold Rush’ is a cultivar that features soft, linear, feathery, fern-like foliage that is distinctively golden-yellow throughout summer. Specific epithet means resembling the genus Glyptostrobus. Genus name comes from the Greek words metra meaning with, after, sharing, or changed in nature and Sequoia to which it is related and to which fossil specimens were first referred. The twigs, needles and cone scales are in opposite pairs. Trees are monoecious, producing oval, light brown female cones (3/4” long) and pendant globose male cones (1/2” long). Foliage emerges light green in spring, matures to deep green in summer and turns red-bronze in fall. It features linear, feathery, fern-like foliage that is soft to the touch. Bark on mature trees is often deeply fissured. Metasequoia glyptostroboides Bonsai is a dwarf selection of dawn redwood with short, bluish green needles and pendant branch tips. As the tree matures, the trunk broadens at the base and develops attractive and sometimes elaborate fluting. Seedlings grown therefrom were planted in front of the Lehmann Building at MBG in 1952 where they have now developed into large mature trees (70’+ tall). Seeds collected from the original site were made available to the Missouri Botanical Garden in 1947. However, it was not until 1941 that it was first discovered growing in the wild near the town of Modaoqi, China by Chinese forester, T. From fossil records, dawn redwood is known to have existed as many as 50,000,000 years ago. It is related to and closely resembles bald cypress ( Taxodium) and redwood ( Sequoia). Metasequoia glyptostroboides, commonly called dawn redwood, is a deciduous, coniferous tree that grows in a conical shape to 100’ tall.
