- An exciting selection introduced by fellow plant fanatic Pat McCracken. Formerly known as 'Pat's Best White', 'Snow Flurries' offers showy variegated foliage that is tipped and accented with cream and white tones. Plants stand out from a distance and are sure to elicit a 'what's that' comment from garden visitors. Specimens have been vigorous growers forming a well-shaped framework in short time.
- The dawn redwood or just plain 'metasequoia' (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) is one of the three species of sequoia (together with the giant sequoia, Sequoiadendron giganteum and the coast redwood, Sequoia sempervirens).The foliage of this Asiatic conifer is very similar to that of the North American bald cypress (Taxodium distichum). A living fossil.
- Comments: An unusual deciduous conifer having some needles that are either white-spotted, completely white, or completely green. A stable mutation, but hardly bold in its effect. A fast growing selection. Fall color is bronze-yellow.
All leaves are green but have splashes of pure white throughout. Clean memory windows 10. The needles can be split down the middle with color. Plant grows about a foot a year and is best in a somewhat protected moist location. Description by Arrowhead Alpines.

Genus
A genus widely distributed in the northern hemisphere, first discovered in 1945. Metasequoia are large deciduous conifer trees with reddish-brown fibrous bark and soft, pale green linear leaves arranged in two ranks on the shoots, colouring beautifully in autumn. Metasequoia is important in the Cupressaceae family because it links the alternating pair leaf arrangement of the Cypresses and Junipers with the needle-like leaves of the Redwoods.
