Metasequoia glyptostroboides (Dawn Redwood) is a large deciduous conifer prized for its soft, feathery foliage and strong, upright form. You get the look of a redwood with the bonus of seasonal change: bright green needles in spring and summer that shift to warm yellow-to-brown-orange tones before dropping in fall.

Give this tree room to mature. At 60-110 ft tall and roughly 30-40 ft wide, it is best used as a specimen or as a dramatic accent along a long drive or broad path. Plant in full sun for the strongest growth and best color, and choose a site with deep soil where moisture is reliable.

Dawn Redwood appreciates consistently moist soil and will handle wet ground better than many large trees, including periodically saturated areas. Once established, it can tolerate some drought, but growth and appearance are best when you avoid prolonged dryness. Mulch the root zone to help even out soil moisture and keep string trimmers away from the trunk.

Prune mainly to establish a single strong leader when young and to provide clearance as it matures. Because it is deciduous, dropped needles are seasonal and typically easy to rake or leave as a light natural mulch. The shaggy bark and winter silhouette add interest after leaf drop, making it a rewarding tree in every season.
