The Berry Botanic Garden in Portland, Oregon, like the Peavy Arboretum, proves that Metasequoias may grow as well in Oregon as they do in the Delaware Valley region. The Berry Botanic Garden was established in 1978 on grounds belonging to a well known local gardener who kept a variety of unique plants. The seven acre site features a fine rhododendron collection, the largest public rock garden on the West Coast, a rhododendron forest, and a native plant trail.

The one Metasequoia here is growing extremely well. The climate in the northwest is well known for its constant rain and temperate conditions. The ecosystem is the Pacific lowland mixed forest, and the Hardiness Zone is Zone 8, which is a tropical zone. While obviously the northwest is not tropical, hardiness zones refer only to the average low temperature, and the Pacific Northwest is famous for having very moderate temperatures, typically not reaching too high or too low. Winds are low in the Willamette Valley where the Berry Botanic Garden is, while they are high in the surrounding mountainous regions. Precipitation is average to above average, but certainly not as high as the areas surrounding the valley. The dominant soil orders are Alfisols, Inceptisols, Mollisols, and Ultisols.
