Description

Named after it's autumn colour, Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Amber Glow' has broad, flat needles that produce an attractive, feathery quality. This bright yellow/green foliage turns a glowing orange in autumn. A deciduous conifer, the leaves will fall in winter, letting the fibrous bark become more apparent.

Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Amber Glow' has a conical shape and is a little less vigorous than the straightforward Dawn Dedwood, growing to 9 x 4 metres in 20 years. It is ideal for boggy sites if you have the space and will reward you with plenty of colour.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
