If you've got a persistently wet area in your garden that kills other trees, Dawn Redwood is sure to thrive in such a trouble spot. It has pretty, soft foliage that turns a shimmery golden hue in autumn, and grows in a interesting conical shape that is quite graphic in the landscape. Dawn also accepts periods of drought with ease.

Those low areas - that puddle after heavy rains - will kill almost any tree, except Dawn Redwoods.

Even grows in standing water.

Dawn Redwoods are considered by many to be the Fastest Growing Conifer. Under ideal conditions they have been reported to grow up to 5 feet per year.

Once very hard-to-find trees, but recent demand has boosted cultivation so that everyone can have access to this beautiful tree!

The Dawn Redwood’s beautiful, fern-like foliage develops in the spring and turns a gentle gold in the fall.

Great when planted alone as an ornamental tree or in groupings.

A great tree for borders and fence lines.

Grows consistently into a pyramidal form and makes an attractive shade tree.

Plant away from foundations and plan for it eventually being a large tree.

Adaptable to almost any soil - except desert sand … can withstand both moderate flooding and drought.

These unique trees are great in open spaces... but also look attractive in rows.

Your Dawn Redwood can be planted any time of year!

It's Easy to Plant your Dawn Redwood
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Dawn Redwood. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Dawn Redwood gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Dawn Redwood again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

Low and behold my Dawn Redwood shot up 6 ft. the first year and every year after, so far. Now Dawn Redwoods are one of my favorite trees by far!
