Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Metasequoia are one of the few deciduous conifers and are highly prized for their stunning autumn foliage. Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Chubby' is a rare cultivar that is much slower-growing and more compact than the species, making it suitable for smaller spaces.

With an elegant, pyramidal habit and reddish-brown, fibrous bark, this Dawn Redwood makes an impressive specimen tree. Like other conifers, ‘Chubby’ has needle-like foliage but this foliage is soft and feathery, with the ‘needles’ arranged in opposite pairs. The foliage is bright green in summer but puts on a stunning show in the autumn when it turns brilliant oranges and bronze before falling. Height: 4 - 5 m (13 - 16 ft). Spread: 2 - 2.5 m (6 - 8 ft).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
