Metasequoia Glyptostroboides (Dawn Redwood) is a fast-growing, majestic deciduous conifer valued for its striking, prehistoric appearance and elegant pyramidal form. Its soft, feathery foliage emerges fresh green in spring, turning a warm copper-orange in autumn before shedding for winter, creating a dramatic seasonal display in the landscape. The finely divided leaves and symmetrical branching structure give it a refined, architectural presence in large gardens and open spaces.
This living fossil is an excellent choice for customers seeking a statement shade or feature tree that combines beauty with history. Once thought extinct, the Dawn Redwood brings a unique conversation piece to any landscape while offering strong growth, resilience, and long-term structure. It is ideal for parks, large residential properties, and revegetation projects where height, shade, and seasonal interest are desired.
