Intense, golden-yellow, feathery foliage makes this striking, new cultivar easily recognizable. 'Gold Rush' is deciduous and has the same handsome habit and horizontal branches as the species. Full sun produces best color, though partial shade is recommended in warmer summer climates. Known in Japan as 'Ogon', the tree was renamed by Dutch nurseryman Pieter Zwijnenburg Jr. before its introduction into European markets in 1993. |

The first Metasequoia cultivar with strongly weeping branches, this gorgeous plant makes a superb living sculpture when it is staked up so the branches drape freely. The tree's small needles and thin branches resemble those of the species Taxodium, but with opposite, not alternate, buds and needles. When the deciduous conifer drops its foliage, the peeling bark and swooping framework supply winter interest. Discovered as a witch's broom in New York, it was introduced by Buchholz & Buchholz Nursery, in Gaston, Oregon. |

An attractive, narrowly upright Dawn Redwood, this vigorous, deciduous tree grows quickly into an ornamental feature with feathery habit and rugged, exfoliating bark. The large tree has typical short, flat, green needles that turn orange-yellow in fall, and then drop to reveal black, gnarled bark peeling away from the fissured reddish trunk and branches. Best for big spaces, it makes a striking specimen, a dramatic impact lining the drive, or an excellent grove near water. |
