Growing Information

The Dawn Redwood prefers full sun to partial shade and requires moderate watering to keep the soil evenly moist. It grows best in well-draining soils but is tolerant of various soil types. The tree has a tall, upright growth habit with a pyramidal shape, making it suitable for spacious garden areas. Plants ship bare root from mid-October to mid-May, so proper planting and care knowledge is recommended before ordering.
