How to care for Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Goldrush'

Light:
Full sun is essential to maintain the strongest golden foliage colour.

Soil:
Prefers deep, fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Tolerates clay and damp ground better than many conifers.

Water:
Water well during establishment. Once established, it copes with moist conditions and short dry periods, though it performs best with consistent moisture.

Pruning:
Very little pruning required. Remove only damaged or poorly placed branches in winter if necessary.

Feeding:
Generally unnecessary in open ground. A spring mulch is beneficial on poorer soils.

Hardiness:
Fully hardy throughout the UK.
