Do you have a large garden? Take advantage of the Metasequoia glyptostroboides, which will magnify your park with its high silhouette between 20 and 30 m. A fast-growing conifer, it adorns any garden with unparalleled charm. It is an ornamental tree to which we do not remain insensitive, with its pyramidal appearance, its tormented trunk, and its delicate branches. Note that its foliage is deciduous: pale green in spring, dark green in summer, it lights up copper before turning bronze in fall. It is a plant that needs space to flourish, with a preference for cool and acid soils.
