Metasequoia glyptostroboides is a fast-growing deciduous conifer with feathery, bright green foliage that turns a rich bronze-orange in autumn before falling. Its upright, conical shape and distinctive fluted trunk make it a striking specimen tree. It thrives in moist soils and is ideal for larger gardens or waterside planting.
SuDS Tree (Sustainable Urban Drainage System)
This species is also suitable for Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS), helping to manage surface water by improving infiltration, reducing runoff, and tolerating periods of both waterlogging and dry conditions. Its resilience makes it an excellent choice for urban schemes, car parks, and developments where effective, nature-based drainage solutions are required.
Average mature height: 20–30 m | Canopy spread: 8–12 m
