Once thought extinct, Dawn Redwood rediscovers the nursery market.

Metasequoia glyptostroboides was rediscovered

in 1941 outside the Motaochi village in China.

Before that time the tree was only known as

a fossil.

The species is considered to be over 100 million

years old, penning its nickname"The Dinosaur Tree"

Dawn redwood is a decidous conifer, loosing its

needles in fall after displaying its unique orange-red

brown fall foliage. It has a very fast growth rate,

possibly reaching 25' in 10 years. This is a large tree

maturing to 100' plus. Suitable for larger landscapes where it can serve as a focal point or grouped to form a screen . Dawn Redwood is easy to transplant.

Plant a bit of novel botanical history this season.

We have them in 4"x4" pots and about 36" tall. $ 15.00 each.
