Grow an impressive stand of living fossil trees with these Dawn Redwood seeds. Metasequoia glyptostroboides is a fast-growing deciduous conifer once thought extinct and rediscovered in China in the 1940s. Today, it is prized worldwide for its rapid growth, feathery foliage, and striking fall color.

Soft, fern-like leaves emerge bright green in spring, deepen through summer, and turn brilliant coppery orange-bronze in autumn. As the tree matures, it develops reddish-brown bark that peels in long strips, adding year-round texture and beauty.

This larger 200-seed pack is ideal for reforestation projects, windbreak plantings, property borders, large landscapes, or growing multiple bonsai specimens. Dawn Redwood thrives in moist soils and tolerates wet conditions, even standing water once established.
