A Remarkable Landscape Tree

Dawn Redwood makes an impressive shade tree and an interesting addition to larger landscapes. Its unusual history, fast growth, pyramidal form, and redwood-like appearance make it a distinctive specimen tree.

Unlike evergreen conifers, Dawn Redwood loses its needles in fall and winter. During late fall and winter, plants are shipped dormant without needles. This is a normal seasonal characteristic.
