Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Ogon' GOLDRUSH
20th June 2010
A marvellous golden leaved form of the species. I know one locally planted in full sun that has gone a rather
enthusiastic shade of yellow. I have planted mine in shade and it is behaving in a more moderate fashion.
Eventually I will remove the Field Maples that surround it and it will probably get brighter.
