Metasequoia is light-loving, tolerant of barrenness and drought, air-purifying, slow-growing, and easy to survive when transplanted. It is adapted to temperatures of -8 degrees to 38 degrees.

The climate of the production area is warm and humid, with cool summers and snowy winters without severe cold, with an average annual temperature of 13℃, an extreme minimum temperature of -8℃, an extreme maximum temperature of about 24℃, and a frost-free period of 230 days.

Annual precipitation of 1500 mm and an average annual relative humidity of 82%.

The soil is acidic mountain loam, purple soil, or alluvial soil, pH 4.5 ~ 5.5. Mostly born in valleys or foothills near the gentle terrain, deep soil, and wet or slightly waterlogged places. Hardy, strong resistance to water and moisture, in light saline land can grow as a light-loving species.

The root system is well developed, and the speed of growth is often governed by the soil moisture, in long-term waterlogged places with poor drainage growth is slow, and the trunk base is.

The trunk base is usually enlarged and longitudinally ribbed. The base of the trunk is usually enlarged and longitudinally ribbed. The flowering period is late February; the cones mature from late October to November.

Metasequoia trees are not evergreen trees; they are deciduous trees, so the natural phenomenon of dropping branches and leaves occurs in autumn and winter. Metasequoia is an ancient and rare gymnosperm that has been widely distributed since the Cretaceous era.

There are two methods of propagation for Metasequoia: seeding and cuttings. Metasequoia is a sun-loving plant and is suitable to be kept in a sunny location, especially in winter to ensure sufficient light so that the tree can grow healthily and flourish.

Metasequoia is not drought tolerant, so it is important to ensure sufficient water in daily maintenance, and it should be watered in time when it is first planted, otherwise, it will easily dry out and die.

Metasequoia also needs regular fertilization to promote its growth when it is in the growing stage, and some thin fertilization is appropriate to help the roots of Metasequoia grow.

The breeding of Metasequoia requires attention to the following points.

1. Soil

Metasequoia is not very demanding in the soil environment, it is more tolerant of waterlogging, so it is possible to plant it near water.

In order to make Metasequoia grow better, try to choose a loose, airy, and well-drained plot to plant Metasequoia.

2. Light

Metasequoia is a light-loving plant, and its requirement for sunlight is relatively high. In the peak season of Metasequoia, a certain amount of sunlight should be guaranteed every day, and in summer.

When the light is too strong, attention should be paid to shade maintenance, especially for the seedlings.

3. Temperature

Metasequoia likes to be cool, and its suitable growing temperature is between 13℃-20℃, too high a temperature is not good for the growth of Metasequoia.

Metasequoia has a certain degree of cold tolerance, and it can grow normally at a low temperature of -8°C. However, attention should be paid to cold protection when the temperature is too low.

4. Water and fertilizer

Metasequoia likes moisture and has a certain tolerance to waterlogging, so it is important to keep the soil moist in daily maintenance, and long-term drought is not good for its growth.

Metasequoia has no high requirements for soil environment, and it can still grow in barren areas, but it also needs proper fertilization during the growing period.
