Amber Glow Metasequoia is a Dawn Redwood that can take full sun without burning. Dawn Redwood is 1 of the most visually intriguing redwoods you'll find. Once thought to be extinct, it is a treasure in the American garden. Those varieties bearing bright yellow foliage are especially favored but tend to fry in the hot sun. Amber Glow is different. Instead of browning, its foliage remains golden, touched with burgundy in the spring and a spark of orange in the fall. And it grows quicker than most, with a feathery, dense, pyramidal habit. Given about 25-years, Amber Glow will reach 30 ft. to 35 ft. tall. Perfect in a line along the property perimeter.
