Amber Glow™ Redwood Tree

Amber Glow™ is a deciduous conifer with golden spring foliage that develops orange tones as the season advances. Its dense, symmetrical pyramidal form offers a more compact dawn redwood selection; Star lists a mature height of 30–35 feet at 25 years and USDA zones 5–10. ## Seasonal interest The golden foliage emerges in spring and gains orange tones later in the growing season. The foliage is described as resistant to burning in full sun, and the tree keeps a dense, pyramidal outline as it develops. ## Site and growth Plant in full sun and allow room for a substantial tree: the listed 30–35-foot height is measured at 25 years. Amber Glow is deciduous, so its soft, feathery foliage drops in autumn. The cultivar is identified as ‘WAH-08AG’ and is covered by U.S. Plant Patent PP29,472. ## Maintenance Water regularly while the tree establishes. Once established, adjust watering to rainfall, soil, and local conditions. Give the root zone room to develop and avoid routine pruning that would disrupt the natural pyramidal shape.
