NORTH LIGHT® DAWN REDWOOD
Metasequoia glyptostroboide 'Schirmmann's Nordlicht' is commonly referred here in the States as North Light Dawn Redwood. It originated as a witch's broom mutation on Metasequoia 'White Spot'. This attractive deciduous tree has a dwarf globose form and features variegated cream and yellow waxy, ferny foliage with reddish branchlet highlights. In fall the foliage turns a nice russet brown before it sheds.
North Light Dawn Redwood thrives in full to partial sun in organic rich, evenly moist, well-drained soils. Its dense, variegated foliage will be variable depending on sun exposure.
