Coast Redwood ‘Lightning’ *Sequoia sempervirens* is a fascinating new variety that adds a splash of colour to gardens with its eye-catching pale yellow-tipped needles. This impressive tree puts a modern spin on the traditional Coast Redwood, pairing the species’ grand stature with striking colours that make it stand out among conifers.
What makes ‘Lightning’ special is its foliage. The vivid pale yellow tips stand out beautifully against the darker green needles underneath, creating an almost glowing effect that looks as though lightning has struck the tree. This colour variation brings texture and visual appeal, turning it into a garden centrepiece.
‘Lightning’ differs from standard Coast Redwoods with its more compact leaf formation. This dense growth pattern creates a fuller, more structured look that boosts its decorative appeal. The tighter needle arrangement also makes it potentially more wind-resistant, which is handy for British gardens.
Being a fairly recent variety, ‘Lightning’ gives gardeners the opportunity to stay ahead of gardening trends. It’s perfect for collectors and keen gardeners wanting to add something genuinely unique to their conifer displays. In bigger gardens, it works wonderfully as a statement tree, whilst in smaller spaces, it can be grown in pots or used as a manageable feature during its early years.
Though it won’t grow as tall as the giant redwoods found wild in California, ‘Lightning’ will still develop into a sizeable tree given time. Its slower growth in British conditions can actually be beneficial for those who want to appreciate its special features longer whilst keeping it at a practical size.
The yellow-tipped needles of ‘Lightning’ bring much-needed brightness to shadier garden spots, appearing to shine even in dim light. This quality makes it especially useful in British gardens, where it can provide a cheerful glow during grey weather.
