The stocks in the UK are being steadily built up through two primary methods of propagation, either by grafting or from cuttings, both of which have proved successful.Īlthough 'Gold Rush' appears to grow well in full sun, like many gold foliage plants it will probably benefit from partial shade. Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Gold Rush' is now available from a number of nurseries in Europe and regularly exported to the Far East and the United States. It was previously known as 'Golden Ogi' or 'Golden Mantle' in its native Japan, its name changed in around 1993, when Dutch horticulturist, Peter Zweinburg of Boskoop, The Netherlands obtained it and brought it into Europe for distribution under the new name of 'Gold Rush'. Originally raised in Japan, 'Gold Rush' is a beautiful new deciduous conifer that is easily identifiable by its bright gold feathery foliage. It was first reported by PLANTS at Chelsea Flower Show. Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Ogon' (Gold Rush) is a striking new addition to the extensive range of conifers supplied by specialist dwarf conifer grower, Lincluden Nursery of Bisley, Surrey, England.
Additions to the International Conifer Register. By rights, it should probably be listed as Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Ogon' GOLD RUSH to preserve its original cultivar name. 'Gold Rush' was found as a seedling in a nursery in Japan where it was named 'Ogon' ('Golden Ogi' and 'Golden Mantel', also seen, are most likely translations.) Around 1993 Dutch horticulturist Peter Zweinburg of Boskoop, Holland obtained it and brought it into Europe for distribution under the name ‘Gold Rush’ ('Goldrush'). Trees will typically rise to 10-15’ tall over the first 10 years, eventually maturing over time to 70-100’ tall. It reportedly grows somewhat slower than the species. Foliage gradually turns orange-brown in fall. ‘Gold Rush’ is a cultivar that features soft, linear, feathery, fern-like foliage that is distinctively golden-yellow throughout summer. Specific epithet means resembling the genus Glyptostrobus. Genus name comes from the Greek words metra meaning with, after, sharing, or changed in nature and Sequoia to which it is related and to which fossil specimens were first referred. The twigs, needles and cone scales are in opposite pairs. Trees are monoecious, producing oval, light brown female cones (3/4” long) and pendant globose male cones (1/2” long). Foliage emerges light green in spring, matures to deep green in summer and turns red-bronze in fall. It features linear, feathery, fern-like foliage that is soft to the touch. Bark on mature trees is often deeply fissured. As the tree matures, the trunk broadens at the base and develops attractive and sometimes elaborate fluting. Seedlings grown therefrom were planted in front of the Lehmann Building at MBG in 1952 where they have now developed into large mature trees (70’+ tall). Seeds collected from the original site were made available to the Missouri Botanical Garden in 1947. 
However, it was not until 1941 that it was first discovered growing in the wild near the town of Modaoqi, China by Chinese forester, T.
From fossil records, dawn redwood is known to have existed as many as 50,000,000 years ago. It is related to and closely resembles bald cypress ( Taxodium) and redwood ( Sequoia). Metasequoia glyptostroboides, commonly called dawn redwood, is a deciduous, coniferous tree that grows in a conical shape to 100’ tall.
