Notes
'Golden Oji' dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Golden Oji') is a tree for use as a specimen. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average to wet, clay soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows in a pyramidal shape at a rapid rate, so give it plenty of room to fill out.
Pairs well with Cherry, Horsetail, and Blue grama.
