A Dwarf Redwood + Radiant Fall Foliage

Why Amber Glow™ Redwood Trees?

Redwoods are awe-inspiring, pre-historic trees, but they’re often too big to grow in a yard. The Amber Glow™ Redwood? It breaks the mold. With the Amberglow, you can enjoy the ancient history and magnificence of the Redwood in a compact size.

The Amber Glow™ is a variety of the Dawn Redwood, which is a deciduous tree with needled foliage. In other words, your tree will give you ornamental value in spring, summer and fall! The bright green foliage is tipped with burgundy during the spring and summer for eye-catching interest that's second to none.

Fall brings attractive orange color as you've never seen. Merging good looks and carefree growth, the Redwood thrives almost anywhere with ease. Disease-free, fast-growing and highly adaptable, your tree will easily grow without a fuss. Plus, its pyramidal shade means you won't have to deal with pruning either.

The best part? This variety was specifically developed to thrive in full sun without burning - so you'll get even more versatility from your new Redwood Tree.

Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better

It was once thought that Dawn Redwoods were extinct. When these unique redwoods with stunning fall foliage were discovered to still be thriving in China, they became prized.

For this reason, it's difficult to find the Amber Glow™ Redwood Tree at your local nurseries or big-box. But when you order your Amber Glow™ Redwood Tree from Fast Growing Trees, you get its rare, unique color and healthier roots plus better branching and long-term success.

Don’t miss out on your chance to grow a well-loved and sought-after tree. Order yours today!

Great structure to theses trees

I have put 4 of these in the ground of the last 5 years. The oldest are now around 12-15 ft tall and very healthy! Plant these trees in low spots on your property where water have a chance of standing in a large rain event or just to the side of natural drainage ways. If you have a water feature these trees can be planted along side it.

My Amber Glow Redwood Tree

I love the tree but it got hit by a couple hard freezes and is struggling to recover. Now I worry in it’s weakened state if it can survive the summer heat.

Gorgeous Tree!

This is my second tree from fast growing trees and I’m super happy with their trees, much better than big box stores! I love this tree! I was worried because the base of the trunk was a little soggy where the pit the zip tie at the base for shipping and was scared it was rotting but I let it dry out and now it’s thriving! Only been in the ground about two weeks and it has taken off! I know they love water so I’ve been water religiously!

Gorgeous Trees

I LOVE these trees. I ordered 2 of the 4-5ft trees in Nov 2022. I planted both at in the backyard outside the fence between my dock and fenced area. The next year, in June 2023, I ordered 2 more 4-5ft trees to plant on the side of the yard outside my fence. Because I live on a small, residential lake I am not allowed to have a privacy fence and I have been gradually "planting" my privacy. All of the trees have done fantastic but the first 2 planted weren't getting as much sun or water as the second 2 so I moved them to the side so now all 4 are in a row going down the hill. They are so beautiful! I can't wait for them to reach at least 10-15 ft, as they will provide a gorgeous sight for my neighbors and myself as well as provide privacy, along with a row of full speed a hedge arborvitae's planted inside the fence. In the pictures, the tree on each end of the row was purchased in Nov 2022 and the 2 in the middle in June 2023. The 2 on each end were just moved to their current locations in 2024 to join the other 2. Their color is so striking and i couldn't be happier with these gorgeous trees.

Amber Glow Redwood

The Amber Glow Redwoods arrived healthy and in great condition. They are growing vigorously and are very beautiful. The bright color and distinctive shape really stand out here in New England.
