Dawn Redwood – Metasequoia glyptostroboides 800 Tree Seeds | Fast Growing | Cold Hardy Zones 4–8 Fall Color Tree | Living Fossil | Ideal for Reforestation, Conservation or Windbreaks

Establish a future canopy with this bulk pack of Dawn Redwood seeds. Metasequoia glyptostroboides is a fast-growing deciduous conifer once believed extinct and rediscovered in China in the 1940s. Today it is admired worldwide for its rapid growth, graceful pyramidal form, and brilliant fall color.

Feathery, fern-like foliage emerges bright green in spring, matures to deep green in summer, and transforms into rich coppery orange-bronze in autumn. Mature trees develop distinctive reddish-brown bark that peels in long strips, providing year-round visual appeal.

This 800-seed pack is ideal for large-scale planting projects, reforestation efforts, conservation programs, windbreak installations, property borders, and nursery propagation. Dawn Redwood thrives in moist soils and tolerates wet conditions, even standing water once established.
