The Amber Glow™ Dawn Redwood is a beautiful deciduous conifer that will quickly become an amazing specimen in your garden. It forms an upright specimen with a central trunk, and the needles are golden yellow in spring and through summer. In fall they turn beautiful shades of amber orange. This tree grows vigorously, reaching 20 feet within a decade, forming a slender pyramid, growing to 35 feet or more in a relatively short time. It can be pruned too, to keep it smaller if needed. Plant it on a large lawn, in the corner of your yard, along a boundary or edging water.
Full sun will bring out the best colors in the Amber Glow™ Dawn Redwood, and those golds won’t scorch in the summer sun. It grows in ordinary to wet soils, preferring richer, moist soils for the best growth. Avoid summer dryness. It doesn’t have problems with pests or diseases, and it’s normally ignored by deer. Prune in early spring to maintain a narrow form as needed.
