Establish a lasting canopy with this bulk pack of 1600 Dawn Redwood seeds. Metasequoia glyptostroboides is a fast-growing deciduous conifer once thought extinct and rediscovered in China in the 1940s. Today it is valued worldwide for its rapid growth, elegant pyramidal form, and spectacular fall color.

Its soft, fern-like foliage emerges bright green in spring, matures to deep green in summer, and transforms into a rich coppery orange-bronze in autumn. As trees mature, they develop distinctive reddish-brown bark that peels in long strips, adding texture and visual interest year-round.

This 1600-seed bulk pack is ideal for reforestation projects, conservation programs, windbreak installations, property borders, nursery propagation, and large landscape developments. Dawn Redwood thrives in moist soil and tolerates wet conditions, including standing water once established.
