Snow Flurry dawn redwood

Cupressaceae (cypress family)

Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'McCraken's White'

Species native to c. China

USDA Zone 5

Deciduous tree
Comments:
A large growing, deciduous conifer selection having green and white variegated needles. While maturing slightly smaller than the species, it can still grow 1½' per year, potentially growing up to 80' tall and 20' wide after many years. It has a conical habit and tapering trunk broadening to a buttressed base. In fall the needles turn a coppery color. Would work well as a specimen or accent plant but give it room to grow.
