Horticultural collection

RHS Garden - Wisley

Surrey

Description

Wisley holds some of the first species plantings of Metasequoia glyptostroboides in the country with plants grown from seed collected on the 1948 expedition to Szechuan and Hupeh Province, Shui-sa-pa valley. More recently we have planted many modern cultivars which can be seen in the Pinetum demonstrating the diverse range of foliage colours, bark and growing habits.
