Metasequoia glyptostroboides
Description
‘Phoenix Spire’ is a selection of Metasequoia glyptostroboides that Dr. Michael Dirr found. It embodies a stately growth habit with more upright and denser branching, making it a great choice for planting in tighter locations. This selection also has improved vigor and is highly tolerant of urban conditions.
