Remember to read the labels on any pesticide that you consider using. I think as the tree matures, I can discontinue treatment. I control with a drench of imidacloprid (Merit). On the down side, the Japanese Beetles also love this tree. We expect growth to slow as the tree continues to mature. A Bald Cypress would have also worked at our site but the rapid grown rate of the young Dawn Redwood as well as the great color of this cultivar led to this selection. Ours has grown about 4 feet per year and is now 25-30 feet tall. The young trees like afternoon shade here in zone 7b.

In autumn, my ‘Gold Rush’ begins changing color at least three weeks after the straight species. The dawn redwood (straight species) grows much faster than ‘Gold Rush’ ‘Gold Rush’ is predictably a mix of yellow and chartreuse in the spring and summer. The contrast between the two is striking. I bought this tree a few years after buying a much larger dawn redwood (straight species).

Of course these two trees are related, and I might offer that sun exposure is central to their respective growth rates. It's a freak and its rapid growth is appreciated in this more open area in need of eventual shading. One year later the bald cypress is 11 feet tall and still growing. As an aside, I planted a bald cypress of simile size in the front yard around the same time. The tree is well fertilized and watered, so perhaps more time will produce the growth rates others write of. It's pretty, but partial shade seems to render the growth rate less robust and the needles more of a lime green. One year in it has grown a little less than a foot taller. Planted a 5 gallon 6 ft tall Ogon redwood last summer. On Jul 15, 2016, Turgenev from Asheville, NC wrote: Please see my narrative under the normal species. I attached a few photos of my Goldrush DR’s. A slight north slope is loved in Tennessee. Likes moist well drained soil just like most trees.

Give full sun and perimeter room to grow. No difference in form or structure that I can tell so far. My Goldrush / Ogon types grow every bit as fast as the species. My biggest Goldrush DR reached 36’ tall this year, as measured with my Swedish Digital Clinometer, and 9” diameter at breast height. I don’t think they became available till 2000+. One of my favorite species ! My Goldrush / Ogon Dawn Redwoods are not nearly that old. I’ve been studying Dawn Redwoods since 1967, and growing them since 1979.
