A large, conical-shaped tree reaching 70 to 100 feet high. Dawn redwood is closely related to bald cypress (Taxodium) and redwood (Sequoia). The fern-like feathery foliage emerges light green in spring, changing to dark green in summer, then a russet-brown in autumn. It grows best in large landscapes. A deciduous conifer, the Dawn Redwood has needles which change color and drop for the winter. The Dawn Redwood does well in moist, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter, and needs acidic soils (4.5 pH is ideal). Full sun preference. Zones 5-8
NOTE: Trees arrive in bundles of 25 seedlings that are aprox. 12-18 inches tall. Trees are NOT full-sized upon pick-up. Photos show full-sized examples of the species.
